Black Mist filters effectively diffuse light and reduce contrast, all while preserving the integrity of the darker elements within the image. This distinctive characteristic effect is manifested through the creation of a subtle halo surrounding luminous sources like lamps or the sun. The specialized construction of the filter is responsible for achieving this effect, skillfully dispersing the light while retaining the image's sharpness.
These filters have gained significant popularity in portrait photography, primarily due to their effective application in reducing minor skin blemishes such as wrinkles or discoloration.
