this is very good advice. One thing that works for me is to use a YG
or light yellow filter (esp. if I'm shooting with an SLR). I like the
effect that a YG filter has on b&w film very much, bringing the tones
closer to what we normally see, and it has the additional effect of
monochromatising (is that a word?) what I'm looking at, which helps
me with visualisation.
