Well, maybe not,,,, contrast is highest at that time of the day.....and a
filter just makes those negs even more contrasty....  If there are clouds, I
can see some value, and also in the full shadow case... but a scenic taken
at noon with no clouds and a red filter would sort of scare me from printing
the thing at all....

Again, especially when you're shooting b/w in the middle of the day or with
a bright sky, consider using a yellow, orange or even red filter to punch up
contrast.
