Though Prof. Boyer cannot get satisfactory results, this does not indicate
impossibility.  The fact that many photographers are able to, suggests that
Mr. Boyer shouldn't give up so easily.

His last statement made me scratch my head.  If there are no warm colors in
the scene (shooting a blue billiard ball on a blue background?) then there is
no problem.  Most problems with filters are due to insufficient light, since
exposure has to increase for the filter's factor.  The only case where it's
impossible is when you pre-view the scene through the filter and only see
inky blackness!  Perhaps I am not understanding.  Fill me in?
