Using filters with black and white film is the way to go, however there is confusion about what filters do what. Rob explores the three most common filters that he uses, and he uses them everyday, while shooting a still life of a bunch of peppers. It's not exactly Edward Weston's Pepper #30 but it's still interesting.

Rob Skeoch is a career photographer, working for five newspapers and wire services before joining the team at Major League Baseball for 17 seasons and the NFL for 14 seasons. Then he was a national manager for the camera group at Sony North America before going back to shooting.
Now he shoots for gallery shows around the world, mostly street work and portraits made with a Rollei twin lens. For 35mm shooting he uses a Nikon F3 and a couple M-mount Leica cameras and shoots mostly Ilford film.
