Can you give me tips for using the Black Mist filter? Bought one today and tips would be helpful, thanks.>49mm 1/4
>>4379856Yes, take it off and rub vaseline on the top of a UV filter instead.
they work better when the lights are more intricate
>>4379856On my digital cameras I use them instead of UV filters. 1/8 during daylight and 1/4 in low light.
>>4379856stop being afraid to leave your home in the day, insecure incel faggot

Go out and take pictures, the best lessons are those learnt by experience. This guy used a BPM, for example : >>4378619
>>4379856buy a 1/8i bought a whole set a long time ago when photogs were dumping.>>4379896this guy has the gist, most of the time 1/4 is too much unless you've got fog and rain then go to town

The lesson is use the lowest amount of diffusion unless you're going for a very specific look. It gets over the top VERY fast
>>4379856Black Mist sounds like the name of a gas station cologne or car air freshner
In the Owen Kline movie Funny Pages they use a heavy diffusion filter for these scenes set in a super heated creepy basement and it sells the heat effect so well. Looks like a steamy bathroom from a hot shower haha. There’s a thin line with diffusion between augmenting the image and destroying it. I like 1/8 for the milder effects and enhancing the look of lights, backlight, hair light, softening skin in portraits. Digital mirrorless lenses are so excruciatingly sharp, so mist filters do a good job knocking some of that down. And of course pair well with film looks to sell the analog look. I like them for personal work and more storytelling, evocative type of stuff. Straight documentary, corporate, event photos, I’m generally trying to make more of a crisp and clean, clinically accurate image so I don’t tend to use them.Star filters also act kind of like mist filters, obviously with big star specular highlight flaring.Fun to have and fun to use, but not 100% of the time. That said, I have one on my Ricoh GR 100% of the time.
