strobist gels

[Richard]

I got my rosco strobist collection last week and have been iching for some free time to use it. Well finally I got a free moment and fired off some test shots.

I started with a rear speedlight with gel, lighting the back-wall and a front 'un-gelled' speedlight in a bounce umbrella lighting the teddy bear. The front speedlight was leaking to much light onto the background so I lost the umbrella and went barefaced, with a reflector to light the shadows on the teddy bear.

(Not the best composition in the world, I think I was in to much of a rush to see the results!)

Has anyone else tried these or got any tips on using flags to stop light spill on to the background when diffusing the key light?
