So this time the filter pack was made up from a cheap set of acetate lighting gels off Amazon. Really only the yellow, orange, red and magenta\/purple? were going to be of any use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Turns out it was either all or nothing with little in between. They come as A4, easily cut and are fairly transparent for use as a filter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I soon gave up on them, but the Tiffen 4.5 inch 85B filter I bought off ebay just about covers the elements on the Dallmeyer 4B.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I was trying to think of other materials to use before I fork out for a large filter set, when I remembered the large pieces of orange stained glass that I’ve had in the studio for years. I think they were given to me at the end of one of the European Collodion Weekends by Jan Kratochvil?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I cut some usable sized pieces and popped it into the mix. I ended up taking filters out of the pack. Ending up with just the 85B and a small sheet of this orange stained glass. It still needs fine tuning still but the less elements involved in the filter pack the better I suppose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I couldn’t resist and did a larger 12×15 inch print. The paper I have is actually 16×20 inches (must have bought it for the Hunter Penrose I no longer have), and its a right pain to cut down with limited darkroom worktop space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A little under exposed but it was getting late and a little rushed as I needed to get home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m quite enjoying working in full colour for a change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
