(We gotta stop meetin' like this!) Why? :) BD> I spent a decade doing news photography, too.. That was never actually my job, but I've had a chance to do it several times over the years. I really liked it and that would be one job that would coax me back into the work force. I especially liked when one of my pictures was used on the front page. The only one that went national, I've only seen a photocopy of. BD> As you know, filters pass light of their own color and retard BD> the rest. The effect achieved is to darken or lighten some hues BD> in a scene to a greater or lesser degree than other colors also BD> present. This provides a tone distinction, in black and white. Yes, of course. But the only experience I've had with that was when the New York Institute had us shoot the same thing with different colored jells. I'd forgotten. ...
