Suppress highlights and lift shadows
NiSi’s 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.
Black Mist is for many applications.
Not only for portrait photography, Black Mist filters can also be used in other scenes, such as night photography, landscape, and still life… to create a cinematic atmosphere. Black Mist adds extra blooming and gradients to the highlights in your scene. Any direct light source will become more film-like, with a smoother, buttery texture around the highlights.
The unique lens grade optical glass that made the NiSi brand famous was also used for this ND Variable. Furthermore, there is the Nano Coating treatment which makes the surface waterproof and resistant to grease and dirt. Cleaning the filters has never been easier.
Available in 49mm, 52mm, 58mm, 62mm, 67 mm, 72 mm, 77 mm, 82 mm, 95mm.
