Photography Question

Color Temp with mixed lighting.

I got a 3-light tungsten kit for Christmas. I have had great results inside as far as color temp correction. What do I do about mixed lighting like an outside shoot with my kit. How do I avoid a blue cast but still compensate for the orange that the light give off? I am shooting film, but have access to a Nikon 5700. Thanks for any help.

Gregory LaGrange's Gallery 		  Might be easier to try and filter the tungsten instead of trying to do anything about the sunlight. But if you're outside, can you do anything with reflectors and the sunlight, instead of using the tungsten?
You can get a 20x30 foam board from a arts and craft store or at the craft section at a store like wal mart and use that with some back lighting or something like that.

Ryan Chai 		  Thanks,
I have reflectors, I'll try to use those, I might also be able to put gels in front of the lights themselves. That way everything is "daylight"
