Hey, there, Dave Busse-- Use the green filter over the flash head when shooting under flourescent lighting to fill-in the shadows from the harsh overhead lighting, and then put a magenta filter over the lens to bring the color back to "normal". I use two home-made packs of green and yellow CC filters for this, sliding them into the slots in the Vivitar 283's. Be sure to increase your exposure for the lens filter AND the flash filters, as the film is being robbed of light in two places. This method prevents green backgrounds in flash situations when you intentionally drag the shutter. Sometimes I use an orange filter over the lens to make a "sunset" photo, and then put a blue filter over the flash head to even-up the color on the subject (e.g. a person's face). Have fun! John B.
