The photograph above is an example of how I used strobe and tungsten in my work in the 1980's.
The background was lite with tungsten light and the subject was lite with a fresnel strobe with an Roscoe 3411 conversion gel making it essentially a tungsten balanced strobe. The camera was set to tungsten color balance. The 1st step was to figure out an exposure that would give us the most beneficial shutter speed while considering the maxium possible aperature for the lens being used. The 2nd step was to adjust the power setting of the strobe to match the f-stop. The use of the shutter speed/f-stop slider helps to visualize the exposure relationships. Care was taken to keep the lights confined to their intended targets and a capture of each light was made separately to confirm its purity.
