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.
In comparison to other soft filters, Black Mist No.1 doesn't whiten the image. It has a considerable light diffusion effect when shooting at night or in backlit scenarios.
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.
