Irix Edge Light Pollution Filter
Take control over your night photography!
Considering light as a source of pollution may seem strange at first, but have you ever noticed how turning the light on in one room can sometimes be more visible than turning one on in another room?
The same thing happens with the city lights. They emit light in different ways and different colours (different wavelengths), and they can cause a glow that can effectively hamper or even prevent us from taking picttures of stars or the Milky Way.
Of course, the best solution would be to find a space without any air pollution, low humidity, and no light pollution; but here we have to face the brutal reality that there are only very few places left on earth that allow such luxuries, and most of the times they are very difficult to acces (Atacama Desert anyone?).
So be prepared! You will probably have to deal with at least some light pollution, but with our Light Pollution filter, this will not be a big deal anymore.
The dominating yellowish colour that can be seen in the picture – when taken at night – is the result of sodium lamp streetlighting. The Irix Edge Light Pollution filter shuts out this yellowish haze.
This type of filter can be successfully used in the city, in the urban landscape, or with photography of the night sky when we want to capture the stars, or the Milky Way, with natural colours.
