The B+W Orange Filter has a very pronounced effect and darkens violet and blue very strongly, green quite strongly, and even yellowish-green a little. Landscape and architectural photos show an increased, almost graphical contrast, while a cloudy sky may appear dramatic.
B+W Black & White filter is used, as the name suggests, mainly for black and white photography. In black/white photography, the image can often lose its clarity and contrast compared to color photographs where different colors contrast with each other. These color contrasts can be lost when photographing in black/white, which can be countered by using colored filters. The most common color filters used for black and white photography are Yellow, Orange and Red filters.
Yellow filters can, for example, help to give landscape photos more brilliance and to distinguish the gray in plants and foliage. Yellow and orange filters can conjure clouds out of mere clouds, while red filters can turn them into dramatic storm force or create man-made effects in daylight.
The contrast can be measured in a digital camera by taking the picture directly in black and white mode.
