Yeah, I vouch this lol. From experience. I've really never had any trouble changing the "orange light" when I wanted it non-orange lol.

Check out the blue-window photo I took, it's all about WB

You can always just use a blue filter if you don't want to mess with WB settings too.

Yeah, filters are great hehe.

I'd love to get a big set of ND filters, coloured filters don't have a huge amount of use outside of B&W photography.

True - lol. So you mostly take film shots?

Usually, but I haven't been big on taking anything for a while, most of the ideas I have are for studio shoots, and I don't have access to a studio. Either studio or derelict industrial structures, and those are also hard to come by.

That's cool I've tried film in school, it was a lot of fun . Only did black and white, though.

Only ever did black and white at school too, they never had the enlargers or chemicals to do colour. But I've taken some colour shots and had them processed in shops. It's a hell of a lot of fun, especially when you try to do stuff like solarising.

Yeah, that was the same with us, didn't have the chemical for color, nor the time. The class I took was mixed with Industrial Arts, so half of us were doing photography, and the other half was makin stuff with wood. Never heard of solarising. What ya have to do differently with colored film in developing them yourself? I've kinda wondered.

Not too sure about developing the film itself, but when making the prints you need to expose 3 colours seperataly, so it's a lot harder to get right than the simple process for B&W.
Solarising is really easy, should give it a try if you've still got access to a dark room. All you need to do is expose a partially developed print to light for a second or two while it's still in the first developing agent.
