Black Mist is an optical glass soft filter infused with fine black diffusing material. It suppresses highlight and shadow contrast, providing a soft image. Without requiring a retouch, you are able to create movie-like photographs with Black Mist.
Enhanced Night Lighting
Softly bleeds lighting within night time photography, producing a cinematic atmosphere. The warmth of Black Mist filters is felt immensely within rain settings. Street lamps and large light sources may be greatly emphasized with the Black Mist No.1 and other soft filters, whereas No.05 provides an appropriate diffused effect.
Cinematic Backlit Photos
Regardless of back lighting, the photo is not whitened, with highlight and shadow contrast limited to create a soft image.
Light is softened, producing a unique Black Mist mood.
Smooth Skin
Contrast is weak within portrait photos, making skin appear smooth as if a veil was layed over it.
Comparison with Black Mist No.05 and No.1
The newly released Black Mist No.05 has halved the soft effect of our Black Mist No.1. In comparison to other soft filters, Black Mist No.1 doesn’t whiten the image. However, it has a considerable light diffusion effect when shooting at night or in backlit scenarios. The No.05 is here to remedy this.
Black Mist No.05 and No.1 should be used separately according to the scene. No.05 is recommended for night photography and during sunset when there is plenty of backlight, while No.1 is catered towards the early hours and when there is weak lighting. In regards to the lens’ focal distance, the filter’s soft effect is strong when used with telephoto lenses but weaker with wide angle lenses.
