I plan to photograph Inca architecture and Andean scenery in May, in Cuzco, the Sacred Valley, and the Lake Titicaca area, and am concerned about filtration in mostly black and white (T-Max 100) but also in color transparency (Ektachrome, K odachrome 25 and 64, suggestions greatly appreciated here). This is high altitud e (7500-11000 feet), but is not as dry as I am used to at that altitude (Colorad o). I have looked at the photographs of Martin Chambi and Edward Ranney, but the ir books do not have filtration info; I have read the existing threads for filtr ation but I still have some questions: 1. In what situations should I be leery of a polarizer? 2. What type of UV filters should I use at this altitude? I see that many are no t up to the task. 3. I anticipate using a yellow filter along with a polarizer for a great deal of this. Is this wrongheaded? 4. What has worked for people in this situation, especially in black and white, and especially since T-Max has a built-in insensitivity to blue? Thanks very muc h.
