Lighting / Re: Matching flash WB to natural sunlight with a gel

I've had great success using (forgive the language) Bastard Amber gels in 1/4 to 1/2 cuts under warm sunlight.

Lay an oversized piece over the opening of a stofen or omnibounce and squish the face of your head into it for a nice snug fit with no light leak.  Crumples the heck out of the gel, but who cares.  Tape it on for full flash.
