When taking an outdoor shot, you can set your camera's white balance to tungsten (which gives the background a blue look). Then, throw a few CTO (orange) gels on the flash and point it at your subject for a nice warm feeling. It is definitely a nice combo. Joe McNally has also done this quite a bit before.

I still am only scratching the surface compared to what these guys do. Good idea on the gels there Tim, thanks for sharing that. (Your photowalking Colorado site is quite cool too - I like the shots from the car show!) Strobist is definitely the site for lighting in photography.

To really make that background pop blue, you could use a blue gel on the background, and an orange gel on the subject light.A tip for those space challenged: if you have your main subject light spilling on the background, move it closer to the subject, even if that means it's moving closer to the background. It doesn't make any sense for those unfamiliar with the laws of light, but it works. The Strobist is definitely a fan of the warm/cool combo.

Read your David Hobby! Strobist has some great tips regarding this sort of stuff. It’s really interesting to see how you can pick a picture up with these sorts of combos. Read your David Hobby!
