Filters for Black White

[bob carnie]

I am in the middle of a project where I am photographing objects then solarizing the film.

I want to get meat * red* to pop, I am using FP4 rated normal and using a soft solaral type of dev.

What filter would you use to get the most detail , or tonality out of red meat or red objects for that matter?
I am using an old Century Camera with no shutter so I could put a large lee filter there which would probably be the obvious place.

Right now with the combo I have the red meat blocks up and in the print is dead black.. which is not such a bad thing but without bones or other lighter tone material in the shot the red just falls short .

the image provided has the look I am after but as you can see the bone is creating the detail, other images, like a pile of hamburger meat , just ends up being a lump of black.
