I think we are saying the same thing. However, as you go up the kelvin scale,
the light gets blue instead of more red. 6500 will give you less red than
5500. Also, it is easy to shoot at a known distance...i.e. 6 feet or 2
meters.Use the zoom, but always stay at that distance. It is easy to compute
the flash if you know what it is at a known distance...i.e. 12ft or 4 meters
is two stops different. 3 feet, two stops less than six...etc. GN seems, to
me, to be a lot of work rather than the above calculations. You can pick any
distance...find out the f stop for a given flash power...the rest is simple
math.
