Product Information
- The DynaSun WOF1008 4 point cross generate photographic excitement with these dazzling cross effects created from original point light sources or bright reflections. The Cross effect will become more pronounced with a brighter, larger source. Filter may be rotated for creative control.
- Lighting can be enhanced in ways that go beyond what exists in nature. Cross filters create points of light, like "stars," streaking outward from a central light source.
- This can make lighting within the scene take on a more glittering, glamorous appearance. This effect is produced by a series of thin lines etched into the flat optical surface of a clear filter.
- These lines act as cylindrical lenses, diffracting light points into long thin lines of light running perpendicular to the etched lines. Lines on the filter positioned horizontally produce vertically oriented star lines.
- As with any filter that has a discrete pattern, be sure that depth of field doesn't cause the filter lines to become visible in the image. Using small apertures, or short focal length lenses make this more likely, as will suing a smaller film format, such as 16mm vs. 35mm given an equal field of view. Generally, mid-range apertures or larger are sufficient, but test before critical situations.
