The dramatic value of clouds is apparent in this Speed Graphic picture
Sy Noel Fehm. A deep red filter and infra-red film were used to heighten
the contrast between sky and clouds.
"USE FILTER FOR CLOUDS
:.€louds can playa large part, inj trast between clouds and the blue
& Making a scenic picture dramatic.: sky, a deep red filter can be used.
BS No one enjoys a picture so much if!
Uhe Sky is just a big gray area.
/ Since it is a tendency for blue to
dhotoegraph lighter than it looks to
_ the eye, in properly exposed landSetapes the bright sky and clouds
_ Both come out too light. Yet, if we
_ were to underexpose our picture to
+ make the sky appear more natural,
the foreground would suffer from
lack of exposure.
. ‘The answer lies in a filter which
+ will hold back the extremely bright
_ dlue light from the sky but let all
. »ther colors pass through unaffected.
_ That filter can be either yellow, red
2r Orange. The deeper the shade,
the greater the contrast will be. .
. For mit scenes, a medium yeltow filter will provide all the.correcnecessary. For very dark, specftacular skies, with maximum conrand so on.
Since we know’that-a-fitter-holds
back some of the light passing
through the lens to the film, we
must compensate our exposure. accordingly. Generally, the darker the
filter, the greater the factor. If this
factor is two, it means we must
double the exposure when using that
filter which we would give the scene
without it. If the factor is four, we
would expose four times as long,
_ To double the exposure, you can
double the shutter speed or open}
the diaphragm one stop. To double
1/50 at f/8, you could shoot at. 1/25
at f/8 or 1/50 at £/5.6, according to
whether depth of field or a fast
shutter speed is more important. By
doubling either of these settings
again we would have the necessary
exposure for a factor of four.
