Filters for a green eyed redhead

[Henk W]

Joe is back now, but I'm still thinking about that green eyed redhead.
Even before the rumours about Joe and that girl, I had this question: What filter do you use shooting B&W a green eyed redhead?
An orange or red filter would make dark eyes and blond hair, and a green filter would make light eyes and dark hair. No filter: eyes and hair almost equal grey.

Perhaps one should use colour film. Wait a moment...(taking a book on photography from 1967)... I see an advertisement for colour film. And who is there? Our green eyed redhead!

What the heck are you using B&W for on a green eyed redhead!?! :bang:

Just kidding. (kinda)

 

[thpook]

Yellow-green.

She gets around? I don't think it's fair of you to judge her character like that. 🙂

 

[Pherdinand]

blue. 🙂
You know what Henk, send that girl (it's a girl, right?) to eindhoven and i will experiment until i figure it out for you.

it was actually wishful thinking, Frank

 

[Gabriel M.A.]

rofl -- I'd use either a blue filter, or a yellow filter. It'd leave certain tonalities in. Don't want to make the eyes too dark, or the hair too light.

 

[FrankS]

I agree with Pherdinand, nothing beats hands-on experimentation.

 

[Pherdinand]

hands-on, hands-off... ok, i will stop thinking about this question

 

[Sonnar Brian]

Just use Infrared Ektachome. Then everyone has green eyes and red hair...

 

[JoeFriday]

hands-on, hands-off... ok, i will stop thinking about this question

or wax-on, wax-off?

I wanted to get these pictures from fridays birthday party of my chest anyways and here seems to be the audience for those. Although neither of the girls is red headed or green eyed.

Don't cheat!

Have a look at the after photo

think about what you see and then look at the befor photo

An now the question! Would the pics be any better with a red head as a subject? :angel:

 

[JoeFriday]

the only way those shots could be better would be if I were in them, too 😀

 

[Toby]

Yellow green for the skin tones


By the way Mr. Friday did you here about the dyslexic devil worshipper who sold his soul to santa? 😀

 

[RObert Budding]

I've used yellow-green to shoot photos of my kids - but they have dark eyes and hair. The skin tones sure looked great, though!

Nice waders!!!

 

[JoeFriday]

if you like waders, do a search for "women in waders".. you'll find the annual calendars, which border on the pleasantly tacky side
