Yellow filter with HP5 @ 1600?

I've never used filters with B&W before and am wanting to give it a go. I have a Hoya Y[K2] Yellow filter and I'm shooting HP5 at 1600. What should I expect this to do to my image and am I able to use it for only a few shots or do I have to use it for the entire roll? Thanks for your help.

Pretty much any photo with blue sky in it will probably look better, it cuts down atmospheric haze, will probably make skin look a little bit smoother. Light yellow is pretty general purpose, I leave it on basically all the time unless I want to use some other color for a special effect. I only shoot black and white totally unfiltered if I really want to gain an extra stop, which may be a concern for you if you're having to push to 1600.

Red filter best filter

If you can't deal with red, then orange is a good compromise. I find yellow might as well have no effect.

OP here.
I'm actually considering using it not because of the effects it gives. I was shooting last night and needed 1600 but today it's just that tiny bit too bright out so the stop of light it looses will be about just right.

Buy a polarising filter, pricey, and forget all this yellow orange red shit. Polarisers improve any photograph, B/W or colour by a whopping 100%.
Learn how to use on on googggggggles etc. Cheers!

do you need to compensate a stop for polarisers?

Except when you aren't shooting at the correct angle to the sun, or when you want to keep reflections, or when the sun is low enough in the sky to warrant the filter useless, or when you're using a lens wider than 35mm and don't wt the sky getting strangely polarized, etc etc.

OP why not shoot 2 of the same photos in a few instance?. One with the filter on and one with it off. That way you can see how it affected the image and by how much.

You may not even notice the effect of yellow filter.

I like orange when I am shooting rocks, buildings etc. Brings out the texture nicely.

Red bumps up the contrast too much for my liking.

If you want to have that look where blue skies are black you need a very dark red filter. 25a is not enough.

This was shot with orange filter.

How come the sky is still blown with an orange filter?

Orange filter darkens blue skies, not grey ones.
Here, have some red filtered Tri-X.

Not that guy, but protip: an orange filter does not magically make clouds disappear.

Because it was a drab day and sky was gray. I dodged the sky to get more contrast in the image.

Thx bros.
It just depends on the film, and also what sort of contrast curve you apply in post.
The filter is a very old Marumi, I believe?
A red filter on something like Rollei Retro 80S will turn a sky properly black.
Looks wild.
