The 'Changing weather' I shot with a red filter. My usual preferred filter is a yellow-green or yellow but about half my shots are without a filter. I try to carry filters for any lenses I have with me, so I'm glad I didn't sell any when I started shooting digital. Other than that, I just try to shoot so the highlights don't clip. So on A, exp. comp has to be set to about -2/3 without a filter all the way to +1 1/3 with a (Leica) red, which is darker than a Kodak 25 and lighter than a 29.
