Here is my latest video. I'm using a green filter, hoping to darken reddish brick building, and lighten foliage at the same time. I wanted to see which would be more effective... the filter, or simply under exposing and over developing the negative. I know from experience what filters will do, but I needed to see which technique is more effective, especially considering the red brick is low in saturation... I show my results, as well as a cyanotype (toned like I've never toned one before!) at the end. I'm going to sleep now as I was up at before the roosters, photographing an beautiful old tree out at North 40, and dodging hundreds of of leash dogs! (thought about you, Matt King! )

Another enjoyable video. Really like that last print with the “extensive” toning.

The funny thing is that I’m just as reserved towards green filtering as before this video, but that’s a matter of taste too what you want with the bricks.
But: I found it quite informative that HP5+ did not act according to the Zone system logic above N+2. I wonder if TriX and H110 would act the same way. But what is actually linear in life…

So Andrew, if you were to do a video about a "Red Green Brick Filter", would it involve Duct Tape?
I apologize, but every time I read your thread title .......

I usually do have a roll of duct tape in the car, just in case. And remember...keep your stick on the ice!

The green filter is one that I do not deploy very often. My yellows, and reds get used more often. Just wondering how often photrio members out there use a green filter...

Green filters are hard to find new, B&W do not make them any longer. Not that I'm lacking

Tiffen still makes green circular filters of various shades.

Really? I could only find the #11. I would like a #58 (tri-colour) green.

I bought my #25 Red from Adorama, and my #47 Blue and #58 Green from B&H, in May 2021. All 67mm, which might be the issue you're having. The sizes in stock seem to be a bit spotty.

All three are currently in stock at both sites, apparently, although the green has jumped in price.

And the set works pretty well for tri-color.

I too have rarely used the green filter. I am more likely to use an infrared film.
