>>3493782>I only got yellow and red filters, if I stack them up will I get the same effect as using an orange one?Nah. You'll get a stronger than red effect, not hugely so though. Red will pass red tones will darkening cyan (and the like, including blue). Yellow will pass most of what the red has passed already, and further darken blues (and the like, including cyan).
For this to work, you'll have to compound (add up) their filter factors. You'll be losing 4-5 stops.
Why do you need stronger than red though? Deep red already gives a ghostly, almost alabaster effect with caucasian skin, for most people it's too much already.
If you want a super strong alabaster effect, try some infrared film with the red filter you got (Rollei infrared is the best and cheapest), or even better get a chink 715nm filter.
Deep yellow works best with people I think, or if you want a rugged look and tanned skin, a green one. Green one needs good skin though, otherwise it'll emphasise all the blemishes - unless that's what you're after.
