Great video. However, you mentioned that colour filters don't work on digital cameras, and this might lead some people astray. Color filters DO work on digital cameras - they just need to be used with monochrome cameras if you're looking to get the same effect as when you're shooting on B&W film.

[@robinferand]

Yes I know, that’s funny. I actually recorded a portion explaining filters for monochrome digital however I cut it out as I thought this could simplify things a little for most newcomers to black and white photography. Photographers buying monochrome digital cameras would most likely already know about black and white workflow and filters,

Thanks for the video. Please compare and contrast glass filters, gelatin filters, and plastic filters.

Sorry about the beginners question. If you do the reading with your Nikon F3 do you still need to overexpose?

[@robinferand]

I find the f3 light meter is able to view through the filter and expose correctly in most cases. But It doesn’t hurt to slightly overexpose just to make sure.

@@robinferand thanks for the reply. I appreciate it. I'll give it a try.

Orange filter for portraits? Everyone will look like a ghost:)
