Filter the Contrast.

In my last post I mentioned color filters, I then realized to myself I didn't really give a use/explanation.
So here it is!

Color filters are usually Red, Yellow, Blue Orange and Green but you can also get Sepia, Purple and various other colors. (they end to be more expensive than the regular colors).

Red
In color photography red filters can be used to make a sunset or a sky dramatic.
In Black & White photography a red filter is used to bring out contrast, it brings out reds and oranges and darkens blues greens. It is mainly used for landscapes.

Yellow
Yellow only makes small subtle changes in B/W photography, it lightens yellows, reds and oranges.

Green
Green is fantastic to use in color in woodland photography. It adds to the natural feel of a woody photo, it darkens oranges and reds in B/W photography and enhances dramatic sunsets

Blue
Great for snowy pics in RGB mode, enhances rainy day skylines and it basically has the same effects as the green filter when used in B/W photography.

Orange
This is a warm color also enhances dramatic sky lines and sunny days in color photography, it can be used in B/W photography to remove freckles and spots (like an easy photoshop!)
