As you can tell by many of my recent posts, I’be been having fun
experimenting with colored gels on strobes for backgrounds in
portraits.
Currently, I’ve just been using the gels that came with the cheap
chinese barn doors. I’m thinking about a run to a theater store to
pick up some sheets of colored gel to get a bit more variety, but I’m
interested in suggestions for ways of mounting gels, or getting other
interesting effects when using lights on the background.

At school we used a low residue masking tape to attach the gels to
whatever holder we were using. With hot-lights & studio strobes having
strong modeling lights you had to make sure the gel didn't get to close
to the light. Taping to the front of the reflector usually worked for that.
You can make cardboard cut-outs of patterns to use as a scrim & shoot the
gelled strobe through it.
