@nnowak - how do you "GEL" a flash???

007peter......Before I bought into EOS-M + 22mm f/2 prime, my old walk-about was a Sony NEX C3 + Sigma 30/2.8 DN without flash (broken external flash attachment, horrible design). The noise handling @high iso 1600/3200 is good enough that I never feel I need a flash. In fact, I much prefer low-light image without flash as it preserve the facial skin-tone without annoying blue cast from flash.

You need to gel your flash to match the ambient light. When done correctly, it won't be immediately apparent that a flash was used in your photos.

How do you do that, can you show me.  What do you mean by "GEL"?  Is that like an aftermarket yellow filter?
