I love using a tiffen 47 blue filter to make freckles stand out more.

[@filmismorefun]

Yeah! The Tiffen 47 can give a really unique look with that.

Prego 🙂

[@LeendertCordemans]

Great information. How are the exposure and shutter speed values of the colors. How many stops of each color? This is the missing information.

[@filmismorefun]

Thanks for the suggestion! I wanted to make this a very easy to understand video for people just starting to use filters, and didn't want to include too many details as to confuse people. I remember when I was starting out, it took a while before I was able to get the concept of stops of light. If they follow the link to the freestyle article though, that will give a further explanation including compensating for the loss of light when using the filters. But to answer your question- these filters I used in the video are: Yellow (Y2) 1 stop Orange (O) 1 1/3 stop Red (25A) 3 stops 🙂

[@LeendertCordemans]

@@filmismorefun thank you for your information. Very interresting on youtube. Everyone talks in the video's on youtube talks about the colors, but nothing about what it does with the values stops.

[@LeendertCordemans]

@@filmismorefun l've read the article link. That's what I'm looking for. Well done.

Thanks Robbie. 🙂

I always use orange filter when the sky is in the frame. Except with my 40mm medium format lenses, because I couldn't find orange ones, and then I use yellows.

[@filmismorefun]

It definitely adds more drama to the sky!

[@frederiklund7693]

What filter brand are you using?Awesome video thanks!!!!

[@filmismorefun]

Hi Frederick. Most of my filters are Hoya.

I have a Red filter and don’t let it much to strong of an effect for my liking. I also have an Orange and it is just about right. I just bought a green filter yesterday because I live in a rainforest and I want to brighten the greens. But I haven’t had a chance to shoot with it yet.

[@filmismorefun]

I agree, the red can give a dramatic effect which can be to much for some scenes, but it can also bring out life in a landscape wonderfully in certain conditions.

[@terrywbreedlove]

filmismorefun I like what the red does with the skies and puffy white clouds but yea it can get too contrasty pretty fast. I know Micheal Kenna uses a Red filter a lot I have seen his prints in s gallery and they are stunning.

[@filmismorefun]

@@terrywbreedlove I love Micheal Kenna's work.

[@terrywbreedlove]

filmismorefun He lives in Seattle which is about 4 hours drive from here. His work is at the Gibson gallery in Seattle and I am always popping up over there to check it out. Plus we email each other once in awhile super nice guy. Some of the best darkroom printing I have seen.

[@michaelcase8574]

Try and add a polarizer along with the color filters. See what you can do.

[@dflf]

No green filter? Very good for lightening up foliage in a forest or any dense greenery

[@filmismorefun]

Indeed it is. It's not one of my most used filter colors though.

[@allaavalova2884]

[@filmismorefun]

Hi! I'm glad the video was helpful. That song at the end was my phone ringtone 'Minions' singing "Banana phone". 🙂 Also, thanks for your suggestions!

[@_joka9]

where is the vlog gone?? i wanted to watch it now but i cant find it :(

[@filmismorefun]

_joka Hi! I switched it to private, because after getting feedback from a bunch of people decided to not incorporate vlogs into the channel. I plan to include some more 'hosted' style portions in future videos instead.

[@filmismorefun]

There it is public again for you 😉

[@_joka9]

man, do what you like and who doesnt wanna watch it shall go somewhere else or simply not click on the video. just be you and do what you like. feedback is good but no one says that you have to do according to it, i would watch your vlog always!

[@pyromancyglassart8975]

You didn’t say anything about changing the F stop when you use color filters

[@filmismorefun]

@@pyromancyglassart8975 That's true, you do need to compensate for the filter factor. It doesn't necessarily need to be the f stop, it can also be adjusted with your ISO or shutter speed.
