Filters

I picked up a couple of cheap Hoya filters on Ebay, along with an adaptor to attach them to my Rolleicord, just to have a play about and see what the effects are like.

The adaptor hasn’t arrived yet but I was messing around with my digital camera today and realised I could shoot through them to get an idea of what the effects are. I think one is maybe a star 6 which could be fun…

However I was intrigued with this bi-colour one, think it’s meant to be used for black and white film when you are shooting landscapes, to alter the contrast between the colour and the sky?

I however snapped this photo of my cat as I was sitting on the sofa and kind of liked how it was looking…

Would have preferred if I’d managed to focus on her eyes instead of her nose - but I thought the effect was pretty cool.

Decided to then slow the shutter down and took a couple handheld with me moving about with a ridiculous wig on, bit weird and I look drunk -lol - but kind of like it.

When the adaptor shows up I might be tempted to stick a colour film in the Rolleicord and see what happens.
