St Peter's (light yellow filter)

2 pictures showing the effect of different filters. First picture light yellow, second yellow green. A smaller aperture might have been better (for sharpness on the old Tessar) but the minimum shutter speed I wanted for hand-held was 1/125s.

Svenedin, at the risk of sounding like a broken record (cd?) this is terrific. You also save me some testing, 'cause I just got my first yel/grn glass recently. 'Definitely prefer straight yellow for the sky/clouds - as I found the hard way last wkend. . Love the positioning of the roof lines, windows & its a beautiful church. Some modern designs can have striking lines, but the old architecture sure looks good to me.
 
Svendedin, well first, love seeing this church it has so much character (as does your own home). Glad you took these two photos and posted. I had remarked to H2Ag a while back that maybe i should look into the yellow-green filter, but this convinces me that i really don't need to. There may be some special circumstance, but you are right, the sunlit daylight and the sky blue are definitely better toned and contrast enhanced. Many thanks for running this comparison and putting up here, and giving of your time these weeks in what really is a community service to many of us here!
 
Thank you to you both. I wondered whether it would be helpful to post some comparative pictures as I have found it hard to find reference books to help me. Books on film photography are hard to get hold of these days.

I really think that a light yellow should live on my lens permanently when I'm using B&W (which is almost all the time). Instead of correcting +1 stop all the time it would easier just to set the film speed a stop slower.
