IF you are shooting by available light inside a church, you don't want to use any filter at all. Filters are normally used when shooting outdoors and where there is adequate light to make up for the light absorbed by the filter. -----Original Message----- From: owner-photoforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-photoforum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Srinivasa Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2005 2:00 PM To: List for Photo/Imaging Educators - Professionals - Students Subject: What filter when shooting B&W portraits with Kodak 3200? 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
