I assume you're talking about the polarizer blue/yellow. I've got one, and a purple/orange one also. I've used the blue/yellow mostly in settings with water and sky, the purple/orange occasionally with sunsets. You do get effects that would be hard to get any other way. Have fun with it. -Lon Ami

Hello Amita, Yes, I have had one for several years. If used carefully, it can produce some nice results. It is very easy to overdo it, however. It is most useful around water and sunrise/sunsets to strengthen or prolong the golden glow. Have fun with it! Bruce Monday, October 18, 2004, 9:32

I've used a red-blue polarizer, the results are interesting. I've never used the blue-yellow variety but I looked at a few photos taken using one. The results can be quite striking. Remember it's a polarizing filter and the same rules apply. Amita Guha wrote: Has anyone else worked with this

Filter Factors (was Re: Using a Yellow Filter)

2001-12-10 Thread Shel Belinkoff
For anyone interested in this thread, I put together a table of filter factors for various Kodak films and Wratten filters. The information came from Kodak's Professional Photoguide. What is clear is that filter factors are not absolute, i.e., medium yellow = a factor of 2.0, or one stop. Diffe

sures, a good understanding of how the filter behaves in different light and with different films, may be required, i.e., making a set of test exposures as one does when using a new film for the first time. William Robb wrote: > > - Original Message ----- > From: "Shel Belinkoff&quo

According to Kodak, that's not always true - it's not an absolute. One of their publications on TX, for example, shows a different filter factor for daylight and for tungsten. Recent experience shows the best exposure (filter factor) does seem to vary with the light. IOW, one stop isn't always

I am sure it would have done wonders for my recent passport photo. I looked kinda blue and corpse-like :) Honestly, I was alive at the time. I think it was the worst photo in history - certainly the worst one ever of me. And I am stuck with it for 10 years :( > Ok, so that's what a Y-44 filter do
