Lens filters are not comparable to gel lighting filters. They have different purposes. This is a VERY bad idea.

Filtering the light hitting your subject is not the same as filtering the light coming through the lens, and it should never be done that way.

Never say Never. You can balance daylight film to tungsten with a filter over the lens or huge gels (4x8 feet) and in that case it is the same thing. However, in the case of UV filter for the white brides dress. If you wonder why the "white" dress looks more blue than white is because the electronic flash systems (some not all) pump out a lot of UV light that causes the brightners of the dress to florescence and thus look blue. Putting a UV filter over the lens will not work because it is the light heavy in UV that causes the dress to look blue, thus you must put a large UV gel over the flash to stop the UV light from hitting the garment in the first place, thus no blue. Sometimes it doesn't even have to be an official UV gel, but clear plastic is enough to stop the UV light from affecting the dress. In the case of the original poster a filter over the lens just might produce the end result that is wanted. Only a film test will answer that question. Yours, Tom
