Filters again

Easier, better, faster, more versatile, cheaper, lighter, and does not consume light if you use photoshop.

 

The only thing I have found I can not do as well or better is to remove reflections which is part of the purpose of a pola filter. The sky darkening half is mastered.

For B&W work (Ilford XP2 ) I always use filters. Yellow/Green, Orange or Yellow depending on subject. Another advantage is that they reduce exposure times, XP2 being officially rated at ISO400, which allows me to set my hand held light meter to ISO100 and to get readings that I'm familiar with so that I can tell if any of the readings is out of the ordinary.

 

I do use lightroom to tweak the photos but I've never considered it as an alternative to filters. Perhaps I'll have to read my guide books again. :D
