Again a warm welcome sir.
Best regards,

A reply to all of you....still trying to figure this reply bit out. Thanks for your welcoming responses.
I was at my son's for Xmas and taking interior shots, especially at night, have given him and me many lousy results.Too much towards the 'cool' end of the spectrum. With the Sigma twist and cant flash pointed towards me at about 80 degrees, assuming 90 degrees is straight up, I was able to get some, not all, decent results. I played around with white balance a lot, but found that shifting the flash around to point back or up or slightly forward produced results that a forward pointing attached flash could not do.
Here's a question for you who have read this far: the Kelvin determination for 'hot and cool' is determined by the heating of some metal. Coolest resulting in orange-yellow whereas 'hot' is bluish white. Yet, I see professional photographers using hot and cool in a way which seems opposite to Kelvin. Any ideas?
