I interpreted this as B&W negatives, however, for color negatives printed in B&W the color filters used on a camera will have exactly the same effect in printing, i.e. a red filter will bring up the sky. I don't thin there is any panchromatic paper on the market any more, does anyone know for certain?Shannon Would a red filter to darken the sky have helped? I don't know if you had any interesting cloud formations but use of various coloured filters to shift the contrast ratios between elements is often usefull. As an aside, I am a big sucker for clouds. My teen age daughter is also a photographer, and a couple of years ago we did a photo trip to the southwest. Each day I would set the alarm clock for a bit before sunrise, and would check what the clouds looked like, the deal that we had struck was that if there were 'good clouds' then we would get up and go out and shoot at sunrise, if the sky was flat, then we would sleep in. My daughter who normally would sleep in got really into it, and ended up getting really enthusiatic about some of the clouds in the mornings! I often select a filter to bring contrast between the clouds and the sky. Mark
