Forgive me if this has been posted before, but I have been unable to find anything related.
I started noticing brown domes over cities, when flying in and out of them on business, some years ago. The first one I really noticed was Denver because it was one of the last I suspected. I have been using color negative film ever since Ektar 25 came out and print my own with a 4x5 Beseler. I live in Columbus, OH where the high sky looks far more cyan than the blue I see out in the country.
I understand that if I try to correct for this in RA-4 printing, with say, more yellow filtration, it will have more effect in the shadows than in the highlights (crossed curves). I need to correct when I take the photograph. Has anyone dealt with this or seen anything posted anywhere. I am guessing that something like an 82B might help. I would welcome any suggestions and try them out. I now use mostly Ektar 100 in 35mm to 4x5 (Tachihara). I am printing on Fuji Crystal Archive with Arista chemicals.
Thanks,
Don Barton
