This NiSi 77mm Black Mist 1/4 & 1/8 Filter Kit with Casefrom NiSi 77mm Black Mist 1/4 & 1/8 Filter Kit with Casecan be used to create a cinematic look by lowering contrast and highlights within the frame to balance the tonal range between highlights and shadows. Black mist diffusion filters are also commonly used to help soften wrinkles, blemishes and create a flattering image of a subject. Black mist suppresses highlights and lifts shadows for well-balanced contrast. Light sources maintain a strong center with a pleasing glow from the light source. Beyond portraiture, black mist filters can also be used in other applications, such as night photography, landscape, and still life, to create a cinematic atmosphere by adding extra blooming and gradients to the highlights in a scene. Any direct light source will become more film-like, with a smoother, buttery texture around the highlights.

Made of optical glass, the filters in this kit have strength grades of 1/4 and 1/8, the filter effect becomes approximately twice as strong as a grade number increases. Each filter features a 77mm aluminum ring, and the kit includes a convenient storage case.

Q: 6. Anyone have issues with reflections? I just purchased and when filming light I'm getting reflections on the glass. Any tips on not getting that?

A: In my former career, I was a motion picture camera assistant. As such, part of my job before each take was to make sure there were no reflections or hot spots of light hitting the front lens element or the filters. I would use a matte box with top and side flaps to get rid of most of the problems. The rule of thumb was if I was using a longer lens, I could take care of it with the matte box and flaps. However, if using a very wide lens, a matte box and flaps are no good because if you set the flaps to get rid of the flare or hot spot, they are visible in the frame. When that happened, I would ask one of the grips to set a flag at the source of the flare, be it a movie light or the sun. If it was a moving shot, the grip would have to "fly" the flag to make sure the light did not hit the lens. Now, what can a regular guy do without a grip department? Use a sunshade or matte box or a french flag. You might be able to move the offending light or the camera enough to get rid of the flare. Just know if you cannot stop the extraneous light from hitting the front end of the lens, it will be in the image to some degree.
