Skylight causing warm.

muko · 3rd May 2005

Guys.. ask opinion again..

Anybody using skylight filter and get annoyed also by the warming effect it caused?
Coz i take macro orchid and i forgot what is the correct color of the orchid and somehow applying autolevel in PS seems to make it looks better...
Maybe i am not a "warm" guy?

anyone have opinion?
What about UV filter?
Which one your preferences UV vs Skylight

some say UV abit bluish, to me, it looks kinda clear. skylight filter is warm, no matter what you do, its still warm, best to shoot portrait with. some may not like it thou...

last heard, think from espn on some other thread, there is a neutral filter from nikon that shows nothing of any sort... best to use with digital cameras.

The time of the day, WB settings of your camera affects colour temperature more than a filter. Even flash has different colour temperature all the time.
