Gary, come to Spain!

Sorry my friend, the trip is all arranged.

But you will venture south at some stage, so we will meet up, when you tire of that endless good weather, and all those women.

 

If it's any consellation, I do have your M6 and a couple of lenses with me, more to keep Henry happy than anything.

Gary

Never Bruno,  I like "nature" :)

I am afraid and I do not like to distort the original

If not in good condition shooting a photo, I decline to take the picture

Best

Henry - some filters are used to play with reality but other filters are used to help render reality.  For example, the naked eye doesnt always pick up imbalances in color temperatures, yet the film or sensor will detect these and your photo will not render the image as you saw it with your eyes.  (I see this all the time in this thread.) Color correction and warming filters are intended to address this issue.  In my comparison posted above, the warming filter help preserve the warm early morning color temperatures that i actually saw.  The shot w/o the filter was certainly nice, but contained more of a cool color temperature that did not "naturally" exist in the scene.

 

A Polarizing filter, when used properly, is another way to achieve a "natural" look.

 

i am finding that a graduated ND filter can be very handy to avoid blown highlights in the sky amd preserve detail that our eyes may have seen (b/c our brains can adjust the exposure to allow us to see the details in clouds) where the film or sensor would render the sky for what it is, usually 2-4 stops brighter than the foreground that we are also trying to caputre with good detail.   Ot all of our bright sunny days photos need to be silhouettes....

 

filters require some extra time, patience and thought. But the results can be very satisfying when the mark is hit on the head.

Adam,

 

On the matter of using filters I agree with your comments. It may be prudent to point out that all films, colour or B&W, have a particular spectral sensitivity; in other words their sensitivity to one colour differs from their sensitivity to another colour (This is probably true in the human eye as well..., we all see colour slightly different...). This effectively means that all films show colours in a sligtly different way. Add to this the  constant, subtle shifts in colours in the world surrounding your Leica, and the notion of "natural" colour becomes rather academic. I think we are lucky to have such a wonderful choice of films and filters to play with:

 

For example, when we see white clouds on a blue sky, an unfiltered B&W film may render them with comparable little contrast, whereas a yellow, orange or red filter could be used to get a result that corresponds to the impression of the human eye. There are also films that, due to their spectral sensitivity may achieve similar results - without a filter; orthochromatic films, for example. The Rollei Superpan 200 has an extended (near infra-) red sensitivity, that renders lips rather pale and gives human skin a more transparent feel, but it s great for landscapes and clouds. The - sadly discontinued - Adox 100 film is said to have a gap in the spectrum between blue and red, that is supposed to give a look similar to that what the human eye perceives.

 

Have a good weekend!

Adam interesting explanation. As I like clouds , I'll  try a yellow filter ... :)
Christoph, be reassured , I will not abuse filter in general and I just content myself

with a UV filter to protect the front lens against dust and possible scratches :)

 

Thanks Adam and Christoph for your intervention

Best regards

Henry
