In this video I simplify how to use colored filters with black and white film photography. (The principles discussed are the same for any format- 35mm, 120, etc.)

Summary of Important Tips:

Why would you want to use colored filters with black and white film photography?
- To color correct an image
- To add contrast
- For artistic effect

How do you use the filters correctly?
- Use the same colored filter for the color that you want to lighten in your image (i.e. A red tomato changes from dark gray to white if a red filter is used)
- To darken a color in your image use a complimentary colored filter (i.e. If you want to make a GREEN pepper appear as a darker shade of gray, use a RED filter.

What are some uses for these particular colored filters?
- Yellow is a great general purpose filter. It is also good for portraits.
- Orange works well for architecture, and for street photography
- Red is a great landscape filter, and can create a dramatic or dynamic scene.

Hi there. I'm Chris. Film is more fun is a place where I share about whatever busted up old camera I'm currently shooting and tinkering with, or my meanderings in film photography.

It would be pretty rad if you said what's up. I'm 99% friendly. Definitely do that.

Disclaimer: If you want technical proficiency go watch 'The Art of Photography' (love that show). These videos are more like an elderly person navigating a tv clicker.
