When shooting indoors with flash, how do I get the walls to stop looking orange?

The subjects are perfectly exposed with flash but the white, sometimes cream colored walls, come out orange in color. I heard about geling the flash, etc. but I'm still confused. How exactly do you properly shoot flash photos indoors?





Do I need to buy any special equipment.





I currently have a D200, 18-70, and an SB-800 flash.When shooting indoors with flash, how do I get the walls to stop looking orange?
Yes, you can do as fhotoace said, or you can gel the flash like you mentioned.





Your problem is mixed lighting. Solving this is done by coloring the flash so it matches, or at least closely matches, the ambient light. Different colored gels, (filters), are used on the flash for various ambient lighting.





The simplest yet very effective way to do this is with Sticky Filters. These are a selection of colored filters that easily stick on the front of your flash. You can even get replacements free for life.





Here is the site. A very effective approach to the problem.

The flash is lighting your subject. The ambient light is lighting the wall. In most cases the ambient light is incandescent at about 2800 degrees Kelvin and the flash's colour temperature is about 5600 degrees K.





So that tells you that the white wall will show up yellow or orange.





You can do three things.





Turn off all the lights near the wall


Use a slave flash unit to light the wall.


Move the subject about six feet from the wall.
Play with your White Balance settings. You should be able to do this in processing. but there is also a setting on the camera. Personally i just set my camera to AWB (Auto White Balance) Then i can adjust it later if i need to.
