  • That being said I came to the conclusion that if one is doing the hybrid workflow of shooting on film and then scanning then using colour filters for black and white photography is just such a faff.
    I mean, ideally you would carry a whole array of filters with you and use the different hues and strenghts fo the desired effect - yet when you process the files digitally later it's just so much easier (and cheaper of course), it's ridicoulous, and I do not even consider it "cheating".

    If you're shooting film and scanning you're probably better off using colour film and converting to B&W in post, so much more flexibility with access to the colour channels.
    Can't quite bring myself to do this though...

    Everyone will be different but I did the same. I sometimes use a green filter for forest shenanigans. And coloured filters on colour film for fun.
