The first is a B&W light red filter. The second, one of several filters I use for astronomy - a Baader Planetarium green continuum filter, which passes a narrow (10nm) wide slice of the spectrum centered at 540nm. My 2" astronomy filters have 48mm threads, so a step down ring is used to adapt the filter to the Q2M 49mm thread. This causes some vignetting, also the exposure was quite a bit longer (ISO 1000 in red, 5000 in green). The green filter is not very kind to older skin though a dermatologist would probably enjoy it a lot. Welcome, dear visitor!

Second image (green filter) is imo much better and more suitable to older skin... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree and agree. The contrast in skin tone makes for a more interesting picture, at a risk of an unfavorable subject reaction. This is an old post but to drift back even further, here are a couple of shots contrasting a view of my daughters through IR pass and blue filters. The camera is a monochrome streaming camera that I used at the time for astronomy and the optic is a small telescope. They were quite a ways away from the camera. I love the look through the blue filter - they not so much. It was the era of the "Twilight" movies if you remember back. They have the look of vampires glowing in the sunlight. Narrow band filters are very important in astronomy photography. I still reference these two images when giving talks about my work. Welcome, dear visitor!
