Hi fellow Zuiks -
I hope this isn't too annoying. I picked up some filters, essentially for
"free" at the local Goodwill. I know what to do with the 1A, UV and CP ones,
but what do I do with the orange and yellows? Could folks give me some ideas
of fun stuff to try with these, or what they are generally used for? (I'm
hoping to go out and play with my new 300/4.5 in a couple of weeks when I can
walk again - fingers crossed).

Usually yellow and orange filters are used with black and white film
to darken the sky which tends to be very light in scenics. They have
the added advantage of not darkening the clouds so light wispy clouds
can become more imposing and add interest to the picture.
Please be careful. Maybe try on rough ground, like some on the list
have admitted to using, one of those combination walking
staff-monopods. Stability for the photographer and the camera. :-)
