Ranunculus Flowers, 8x10 X-Ray Film by Shawn Hoke, on Flickr
That's beautiful, Shawn.
I did some testing with filters on green xray film somewhere on the original xray thread (could this thread not be combined with that one... Moderators? just a thought).

I tested with a #8, 12, and 15 yellow (wratten), #11, All worked well. My favourites were the yellows and light greens. I tried a #25 for the hell of it and got exactly what I expected... blank film. Never tried light orange filters... It is possible to get cloud and sky separation with a yellow filter, but you will never get the same results as you can with good old pan films.
I believe I posted this in one of the xray threads. I exposed the film with a yellow filter, but can't remember which one...

I tried a yellow filter (tiffen 12) on my green xray film and it really killed the contrast and didn't do much for the sky as Andrew points out. I imagined darker clouds like with regular panchromatic films. Since I'm new to the xray film thing, I think I'm going to shoot with no filters (K.I.S.S) and get familiar with the film before trying other experiments. After I figure this out a bit, I might try experimenting again. I've been doing film/developer tests for a year with various emulsions and developers. Time to simplify with the variables I enjoy and get to know them better.

Symmar 300mm @f11, Kodak CSG 8x10, cropped (well it was "almost full figure" shot... i need to get out of stupid habit of filling frame in to max.. )....
No filters. Exposed at iso 50 or 80 (kinda was fluid, hard to tell)
