My uncle insisted on the cheapest motor oil for his old truck. The engine seized up a year later, costing way more than a few extra dollars per oil change. Sometimes cutting corners just cuts the life out of things.

Yeah, @kevin_sullivan, that red filter move is either pure genius or a total disaster, no in between. I tried it once and my foggy pines looked like a weird Martian forest, not moody at all. Ended up with these crazy dark skies and trees that looked like they were made of charcoal. Sometimes the classic advice just makes everything look like a bad horror movie poster. What did your shots actually turn out like?

Man, that's the best kind of deep dive find!
