Yellow and blue are complementary

I bought a nice pre-cut gel pack from at www.photogels.com
Since I got them, I’ve been looking to do some creative effects with them. I had the opportunity the other day, when I visited a fellow photographer Pablo Vicente and his girlfriend Stefanie. She was very patient with us while we tried and shared many different flash techniques.
It was a good opportunity to try a cross-color technique, using complementary colors on the lens and flash to achieve a radical result.

Thanks to Pablo and Stefanie for the good day.
