[QUOTE="Joseph Bautsch, post: 27729, member: 654"] Changing the f/stop only determines the exposure of the shot, making it darker or lighter. It dosen't change the white balance. Color in a shot is changed by adjusting the white balance in the camera, not the f/stop. F/stop is not used to do that because it has no effect on the color or white balance. Adding different color filters changes the white balance altering the colors that are recorded. Black and white is just that, black and white there is no color other than the gray tonal range from black to white. Using different colored filters with B&W film may change the tonal range of the B&W shot but it's still B&W. Most professionals who teach photography teach the triangle of exposure. To get the correct exposure or the exposure you want you have to make three settings on the camera, f/stop, shutter speed, and white balance. That's because each are independent of each other and are the necessary elements of correct exposure. [/QUOTE]
