The Kodak Lens: The filters recommended for use with Kodak Films are the Kodak Sky Filter, Kodak Color Filter, and Wratten Kl, K2, G, and A Filters. There are other filters but they are intended for more or less technical and specific purposes and need not be mentioned here. They are described fully in these Eastman Kodak Company publications: "Filters—Kodak Data Book on Filters and Other Lens Accessories," "The Photography of Colored Objects," and "Wratten Light Filters," all available at Kodak dealers'.
One of the most convenient forms in which you can acquire your color filters is as elements of Kodak Combination Lens Attachments. And the latter afford other valuable lens accessories as well. Providing a set of matched and interchangeable filters, supplementary lenses, and lens hoods, they offer maximum economy as well as flexibility. You can add units individually as you find use for them, simply fitting them into your other attachments.
Attractive shots may also be made from a position where the shadows fall toward your Camera rather than away from it. In backlighted work of this kind, be sure that no sun rays strike into the Camera lens. The Kodak Lens Hood, previously mentioned, provides a reliable safeguard when the sun's rays are from the side, but you'll need extra precautions when you aim more closely into the light. Shield the lens with a hand or hat, held just beyond the camera's angle of view. In such work, give a bit more exposure than would be needed if the sun were directly on the front of the subject. |
