Recently I’ve been out looking for red filters for Black & White photography.

Pretty much all the stores I went to, obviously, had the well known UV filter which they tend to stick on the end of every camera for the extra money and polarizers which are there for a similar reason.

Everywhere I went, those were the only filters. Obviously, with the expection of Foto C. But Foto C have everything - that’s the point. Even then, Foto C only had an R8 filter.

So I looked online to find some more information abut filters, with a chart and everything summarizing the whole thing. Guess what - nothing. It’s as if nobody uses filters.

True, the effects that the filters generate can now be easily replicated, but it’s just not the same! Traditional photography has been in the process of slowly dying, but is it that bad? Well. I sure hope not.

I guess the artistic value will always be there…
