Yellow Filter

A yellow filter has always been the "classic" first choice filter for the user of black and white film. It gives an excellent balance between photographic effect and ease of use.

Many photographers use a yellow filter to "bring out the clouds". It does this by darkening the blue of the sky, hence there is much greater visual separation between the darkened sky and the white clouds on the final print. A yellow filter will also give improved penetration of haze and fog.

Although a yellow filter darkens blue, it reproduces green, yellow, orange and red in lighter shades. This gives more differentiation between different colours of foliage and flesh tones have a more natural look.

Overall a yellow filter is a very useful and versatile choice.
