A transformative tool for photographers, the 62mm Creative Star 6X Cross Screen Glass Filter by Hoya is designed to add a dramatic 6-point star flare effect to your images, reminiscent of sparkling snow crystals. This high-quality, durable filter is particularly effective when capturing night scenes, water reflections, light filtering through foliage, or the gleam of jewelry.
The Hoya Star 6X filter is ingeniously crafted to create a 6-beam flare on light spots, transforming bright or strong point light sources into captivating star effects. This innovative filter features lines meticulously etched into the surface of the optical glass, each contributing to the creation of the 6-point star effect.
The versatile Star 6X filter offers a unique way to enhance the aesthetic appeal of your photos, producing a romantic effect with multiple rays of light emanating from a single point source or a bright object within the frame. The appearance of these rays can vary based on the aperture setting, the size and strength of the light source, and the distance to the camera, providing a wide range of creative possibilities.
For optimal results, rotate the filter frame to find the best angle for the star effect, tailoring it to your personal composition intentions. When shooting video, this rotation can also be used to create dynamic and rhythmical movements of the beam flares, adding an extra layer of depth and interest to your footage.
Designed for use with a 62mm lens, this effective and innovative filter is compatible with a variety of camera models, making it a versatile addition to any photographer's toolkit.
