I am getting ahead, I figured the field and depth using a phone app and I know how to keep my shots steady and I would like to thank you for your help and your advice.

I need another clue. I am attaching a color correction box for a lens I practice with. The lens is warmer than desired and I almost always color correct the same way.

what filter would correct for about the same amount of blue? I know that lens filters are the last resort in digital photography but I just want to practice before I load my first film.

many thanks!

I think proper white balance and custom color profiles is the way to go

thank you! I appreciate your help I need to figure out how to use an old 35mm film so I will not be able to use the usual stuff. I don't want to waste any film or be too disappointed with my first film role
so I am trying to figure out some basics before I move to the real film and I guess it will have to be a filter because i will have to stick to the same film role.

If you are shooting color film (by the sounds of it) and your lens produces warm colors, you’ll want a cool (blue) filter. If it’s too blue, you’ll get a blue color cast over the entire photo. I haven’t done much with filters in recent years oitside of black and white film, so I can’t help you with actual filter designations.

If your goal is to scan film, you can mute warm colours later. If you are aiming for lab prints, some labs will correct colour before printing anyway.

Sometimes warm tones can work, or at least are not too distracting. I wouldn’t worry about using a filter for colour film just for lens correction, especially when you consider the light loss and quality loss that can be caused by a filter.

I ordered a Hoya 80B blue just to see what it does, but its a shot in the dark I have no idea what it does to a film. I bet you are right. I'll scan my negatives first and go from there or pick a neutral lens. I never had a film camera it will be fun to try.

Since you have the filter, see online for examples of what a blue filter does to black and white film. Could be something to try if you can accept the one stop loss from an 80B

I'll do that, I think I can imagine what blue filter does to the red. could work well on cemetery shots and poppy fields I figure

when I was working film/video, the filters we mostly used were ctbs (correct/change to blue) or ctos (correct to orange)...

Except screen configuration I would suggest find WB pick tool to use white color as reference.
