Is there any idea of using yellow, orange or red filters when shooting for BW?
You do all that doing post processing of the color raw file?
What if the camera has been BW modified?

To answer the last question: if the camera is modified to be monochrome, it pays to process the RAW in a special converter. For example, Monochrome2DNG, which is the one I use for my NEX-5N Monochrome camera.

Using some kind of filtration to cut down on blue etc. has a long-standing history for film-based b/w. If the camera is not true monochrome, I would not use a filter as this effectively would lower the attainable resolution. Instead, emulate the effect later in post-processing. For a monochrome camera, it makes sense to use a filter to reduce brightness of sky or selectively bring out skin rendition.  I often use a deep yellow, orange, or red filter on my NEX-5N, if not going the whole way into IR with an IR-filter.

Using a B+W 093 IR filter (roughly equivalent to Wratten 87C) makes IR capture more or less monochrome from the get-go.  Thus rendering these files in true b/w later is a small, and logical, next step.

Here is an example using this filter on a Nikkor-T 105mm f/4 lens with my IR-modified Nikon D5300.

They are fascinating and nice creatures at that stage of development. Not so pleasant after hatching, though.

Excellent close-up work, by the way.

Intriguing image.  You should train them to keep the social distance, though.   :P

Yes, fascinating. it would be even more fascinating if I could take a footage in video mode as we could see the water moving around their mouth to get food  plankton).
