ortho is not sensitive to red, so lips and red roses will look black and skies 
will look ok since they are blue


I think you are referring to Infrared ?

Subject: [pure-silver] Ideas On How To Get Ortho-Like Skies

I would love to duplicate the dark black skies one sees in images shot
on the old ortho films.  I have tried many filters (orange, red, tri-red),
many films (TX, PX, TMX,BPF, FP4) and developers (D-76, HC-110, PMK, T-Max),
and I never quite manage to get what I want.

I even tried using Ilford's ortho film, but unless I'm doing something
wrong in development (possible, since I only glanced at the data sheets),
the stuff is so grainy as to be unusable.

Ideas anyone?   I shoot a great deal of winter snow and summer landscape
stuff and would really love to have that black sky behind it all.
