Simulated Sunlight

I was experimenting with some gels from the Rosco sample pack to try and find one that would give me the effect of golden sunlight right at sunrise/sunset.

This one is with the pale gold, I believe. Not bad. It's a nice and warm light.


Here's a shot without the gel for comparison:


Another with 1/2 straw (I think):


I don't think either of them *quite* hit it, but they're close. I wonder too if I've diffused the light too much shooting through the umbrella. It may look more like sunlight if I shoot a bare flash.
