I used to use a deep yellow filter with bw film. It gave a delicate look to human flesh that I liked. However, if you're shooting at 3200 the grain will probably counteract any delicacy.

Hello All, Its been a while since I posted here. Hope everyone here had a good thanksgiving and looking forward for more holidays. Lately I ve been doing lot of wedding photography and I would like to shoot some pictures inside the church with Kodak 3200. I am also going to shoot some portraits with that film with available light inside the church. I would like to know what type filter should I be using inorder to get a good contrast in the pictures. Or should I not use any filters at all ? I was thinking about yellow filter as I read about it somewhere but I cannot recall the exact type of filter. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am also going to shoot digital in parallel so its also going to be a kind of comparison for myself and see if the dynamic range is going to be really a big deal or not in this situation. Thanks, Srinivasa Regeti
