Ah, now you've touched on an automatic feature of digital photography that
we waded into some time ago, which is the feature where the camera adjusts
itself so that it records a certain colour temperature. Chuck finally sorted
this one out for us. That feature denies us the artistic ability to apply
Wratten filters in digital B&W photography. I can go so far as to use a #11
green filter and see no difference in the brightness of foliage. Instead, I
have to take the best possible colour photo, then use FilterSin (ancient
Win95/95 software) and a B&W film emulator to do virtual B&W photography.
If there was some way of shutting off that internal automatic colour
temperature correction I would do so in a heartbeat.
