Rosenstock's landscapes

[bill h]

Another Boston Globe review, another show, this one in Worcester, Ron Rosenstock's beautiful landscapes, written by Mark Feeney. Worth a road trip, I'd say on the strength of the review. http://b.globe.com/wsffNv

Silly, really off-topic question, but in the pic that leads the article, does it look like he used a green filter? All the vegetation is really bright. I've only recently started using filters and don't yet have a handle on what will happen, except to know that one needs to be very careful with red, especially when one forgets he is shooting color film. That, and last night when packing my gear for a trip, a so-far-unused green filter did go into the travel bag.

A brief visit to the Schneider website will give you a very concise overview of filters for B&W film.

That image looks like it was shot on infrared film.

Not a silly question. I believe a green filter could have given those results. Also, early in the year some leaves are very pale green. But a lovely effect. Show us the results after using the green filter.

Thanks for the link, Jeffrey. Oh, I've read plenty and have a good handle on what they are for. What I haven't done is use them and gotten to really see what they do with my equipment and the film I use.

Take a frame with and without your filters that way you have it both ways.

Ya, that is how I intend to learn this. I'm planning to take 4 shots of the same scenes - no filter, yellow, red, and green.

Another vote for it being IR.
