Not quite. I keep a warming gel or two around for exactly the case of needing fill when shooting under mixed flourescent or tungsten with flash. Saves a bit of work in correction color balances afterwards. Haven't used them very much though, since I use flash so infrequently.
I just tape them on the flash head when needed. Godfrey On May 21, 2008, at 2:42 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Yes.
