HELP...I am totally confused!
From how I understand it you can do either. For something in front of the lens it would have to be fairly transparent. However, If you have something colored to put in front of the light source (flash, window, etc..) as with what Saralonde did, or use a color reflector it will color your light and image in general. Another fun thought may be to purposely set off your white balance on the camera to think white is a different color, but I don't think that is the intended idea in this, would just be to play. So, to answer your question, yes, something to color the light/image in general or use photoshop to do a colored transparent filter on a section.
