Hello Bernard,

Very interesting. What makes you choose a grade or another of the same color
before shooting? Do you tend to level the effect, for example by choosing a dark
red with a light blue sky and a light red with a dark sky or, at the opposite,
do you emphasize it? Are you really able to quantify the differences between two
grades when you see the final result?

I ask it because I have to admit I'm unable to recognize a picture I made with
the orange of red (medium) filter a week after I made it.
