Re: [Digital BW] Digital contrast filtration

Richard:

You might want try a 29 red filter. I use that filter on a 20D modified for 
IR. I set the parameters to B/W, but shoot in raw. The image you see on the 
LCD is B/W, giving you some idea what it looks like. The raw image still has 
to be converted to B/W. I use this combination when I want less of the IR 
effect.

Hello,
I followed a thread on putting filters on your DSLR, but somehow lost the 
emails.

I have thought of putting orange or red filters on my D70 because selecting 
the red channel adds a huge amount of
noise.

I have used a polarising filter to good effect, however.

Any thoughts on what approach works best on a DSLR would be appreciated.

thanks,
Richard
