FILTERS

What filters would you recomend for b+w photography on a cloudy and rainy day

Thank you

None or a medium yellow (to offset the high color temperature and lighten skin tones). Try to keep the sky out of the picture if you want details in the foreground. The light is soft, and good for closeups.

Look for reflections in pools of water, especially in night-time street scenes. By appropriate angling of a polarizing filter you can control the degree of reflection desired. If the lighting is artificial, there may be some advantage in choice of filter, remembering that colors similar to that of the filter will be lighter in the final print, and that complementary colors will be darker.
