[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]May I recommend a yellow green over a yellow as the skin tones won't suffer and its more generally recommend; at least in the past with film. A good one is the B+W 060 However a quick search and I get from both Adorama and B&W B+W 39mm 060 Yellow-Green (11) Glass Filter No longer available. With the yellow green you will for sure get tone in your skies without having to underexpose to do so. In film use it was about the only filter color which makes you skin tones better - not worse. It's lightening of foliage very slightly works out usually for the best. It was known to restore pure panchromatic ness to otherwise touted but not really panchromatic film. How that relates to a mono CCD not sure who knows. Its a new field.
