Aaah, you all know these folks, right? Some citations:
"Nono, no flash, flashlight is always the wrong light!"
"I prefer daylight so much, because it is so *natural.*"
"I **only** use natural daylight, because it is the only light, that preserves my colors."
And so on.
I say: Bullshit!!!! :-)))
From left to right:
1. Daylight shot, 1/250 second, sooc
2. Underexposed Version of 1. (two stops, simulated in Adobe Camera Raw)
3. Shot with HSS flash, 1/1000 second, sooc
4. Dito, after minor ACR and PS tweaks
Most interesting thing: All shots have the same fixed constant White Balance: :T = 5500 Kelvin. :-)
No tweaks here, its all just natural magic! :-)
Well, if you shoot a sunset and overexpose (to get more of your model than just a silhouette), your water and sky will be white. But if you exposre right.... hmmm, wow, golden shine!

This broad-headed bug, Alydidae sp. was seduced by my flash (I needed to use it due to the wind). Scene finished with the bug on my camera after showing a really gymnastic pole dance. April 2018
Oh my god. I'd forgotten how much I loved Time Zero film.
I bought a pack off Ebay recently after running out of it a year ago. I didn't expect it to work but it's pretty much perfect - even 3+ years past its expiration date!
600 has nothing on the beautiful, muted colors or the development time, which is about 4 times faster (fitting, for this subject).
Why the hell did they discontinue this stuff? Oh, right.
Trying stuff with a new toy - on camera Speedlight - the neighbours must have wondered what I was up to....I was exploring it's reach! It seems to work, but now I understand when folks say that it makes for flat photos. Next: off camera using command mode. We'll see....
This occurs when the light from the setting sun is refracted by the atmosphere just as the sun dips below the horizon. Only seen in certain atmospheric conditions, I consider myself vey lucky to have got it my first attempt
