Thanks for watching! I love using these filters, do you have a favourite filter!? 🤔
The cokin star effect. Its the biz.
I picked up, the Black Mist trio this past weekend. It blooms the highlights around high contrast areas in landscape photography very nice, (backlit leaves and trees.)
Great explanaton, thank you, gonna pick one up for sure!
First time watching your videos and I came to understand the difference between 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8. Great video, great explanation and to the point. Thanks Rauri, I might make a video myself when I get mine :)
Best explanation I've come across of exactly what these filters do. Thank you!
Thanks mate
OMG what a great new video Rauri :) We really appreciate it as always. Have a nice day - ADM Team :)
Cheers mate
Thank you for explaning I really appreciated! ☺ I have a question for you, thank you in advance for answring... I would like to use the lens Sony 24-105mm on my Sony A7IV, then I would like to apply a Nisi Black Mist on it, and on the black mist I’d like to put the ND64 6stops + CPL integrated filter by Nisi. Will I make a mess of my photos and videos? Would this be a bad choice to make? Is the 24-105mm G really less sharp, bidimensional, sad looking and not good in night, low light or indoors situations? Cause my intention is to get a tridimensional, cinematic looking on my photos and videos.
Great video Rauri! I have been wanting to try a black mist for ages, I love that soft highlight look!
PS, nice Pokemon shirt!!
Thanks a lot mate! Yeah I love using them for video and snaps, just for fun! Haha glad someone noticed the shirt
@@RauriBarron I think it would be super fun to have a black mist filter on either the pano or Hasselblad for some night time long exposure film shots!!
Aha, dude, I'm a huge Gen 1 nerd 🤣🤣 still play on GBC sometimes!!
@@MeasuredLight hell yeah, that’s awesome. Glad to meet another Gen1 nerd 😂 I have my gameboy colour and yellow still. We need a beer and nerd session.
I'm about to buy this filter and go RUclips hunting on some advice. After having watched about 10 posts, I hit yours and I get my mind made up. Thank you for some neat tips and solid guidance....
No worries thanks mate glad I could help
nice man! i love mist diffusion filter 🤪 but i use fancy colored cinebloom 😁
Thanks mate! That’s awesome
Great video Rauri I’ve been considering picking up one of these filters myself I think there is definitely a lot of potential using them in landscape work!
Cheers mate! Definitely worthwhile giving it a go, I have 4 now so can definitely lend one to ya to try out when we shoot next
Great things I will get 1/8 for sure. Thanks for advice
No problem 👍
Came here for the Black Mist review. Wow, so detailed. Thanks a ton. I wonder why your account has such a low amount of followers 🤞🤞.
Very nicely explained!!!
Glad it was helpful!
interesting. How will the effect be in A strong harsh sunlight or B if you take a portrait with lights creating bokeh in the background...?
Nice work Rauri! I actually just got my first black mist filter I got the K&F 1/8. I agree I’m liking the look it provides. I was a little skeptical at first especially because they are a bit pricey but I loved it so far. Great stuff sir I hope your doing well out there!
Thanks a lot Lee glad you’re liking them. Appreciate the support mate
You reckon these would be any good for sunrise over water?
I’m experiencing banding with A7IV on lights. Is this normal?
always support the work of all friends•...hopefully the work of all friends will be more successful and continue to grow.
👍
Fantastic video Rauri! I think you've managed to convince me I need a black mist filter ha! Love all the examples you gave, I'd personally go for the 1/8 filter as I like the subtly to it. It makes a difference but feels very natural too.
Thanks a lot Courtney! Yeah the 1/8 is my favourite, when I’m out with the family I often have it on, I love the soft effect is creates, in day time it’s less obvious unless shooting into the sun so really natural. Thanks again!
I bought a 1/2 before watching your review and now I'm afraid I will regret not getting the 1/8 instead
How did you go? The 1/2 is still fun
Another great video mate! Very well put together, loved all the b-rolls and your beautiful soft skin of course! 😍😁😝 Have a great weekend buddy!
Haha thanks a lot Peter! I need all the help I can get to make this face look better 😂 make up is next
@@RauriBarron 💅🏻 I’m definitely back for that one. Cheerio darlin’😂
Interesting video Rauri never heard of black mist filters. I like the effect on the lights in the night images 👍
Thanks a lot Chris!
Nice video mate, I do like the effect on the skin! And the street photography really showed off the effect nicely. Have a good weekend!
Thanks a lot mate! Hope you have a good one too 😊
What is the difference between a pro mist and Black mist filter?
I might get out and do some daytime street photography with and without a black mist filter, as I'm curious how it would affect the image in contrasty daylight. I'm guessing not nicely, and that's probably why I've never seen it done, but will be fun to try and find out myself. The 1/8 in your studio really works nicely, much better than without.
Yeah I used it a little in daytime and the 1/8 is quite nice. Surprisingly the effect is not obvious or over the top, if you’re not shooting into direct light or some sort of highlight, works best at golden hours. I didn’t get time to get broll for this video at those times (working to 9pm doesn’t help 😂 ). I have seen some guys in RUclips using the black mist filters for photography in the day, looked great, check it out! Sorry I can’t remember which video exact
How do you like the Nisi Black Mist vs Schneider Hollywood Black Magic?
Wow, I’ve never heard of these - what a great tutorial! The iconic Queen Street Hungry Jack’s has never looked so good! I’d love to see more cinematic shots of that! Maybe once they’ve finished working on the bench outside and the goth kids return you can film them in their natural habitat 😆
😂 mate I’ve got you covered, I’ll work on a cinematic short film of HJ. I remember it was the goth/emo hang out back in the day.
Hi. Nice comparison. But I've a few question. Some says there's difference not only the base strength of these filters but also at what kind of aperture and focal length one use them. What can you say about that? However there's nothing mentioned on manufacturers' site, it is said 1/2 works well at wide angle, 1/4 works the same at the middle angle and 1/8 works the same at telephoto. It is also said 1/8 has harder impact on image at middle angle than at telephoto and the same with 1/4 which has stronger impact at wide angle than in middle. As I see between 1/8 and 1/4 there's not so big difference than between 1/4 and 1/2.
Tough question as it really depends. In summary you have to consider not only focal length but the distance between you and the subject (subject of light source). I noticed that telephoto lenses, and being close to the light source, the effect wasn’t that exaggerated. But, the black mist worked well with telephoto lenses for distant subjects. I generally have shot between 16-80mm with these.
Nice work Rauri. Filters can add a nice cinematic “Blade Runner” style effect at night to the neon. Thanks for sharing the vid mate, I’m off to Hungry Jacks around the corner for a whopper, curse you subliminal messaging 😂👍🙏
The burgers are better … when shot with a black mist filter 😂 haha thanks Adrian! Appreciate the support mate.
cant you just use "deep glow" in after effects?
Most interesting Rauri. Especially your comment about using this filter on a bright sunshine day to soften contrast. In the UK the summer is a b*gg*r for landscape photography because everything is so green and the light so harsh. You've got me wondering now whether one of these things could be used to good effect on days like that. Guess there is only one way to actually find out! Thanks buddy
Thanks a lot mate. Yeah I’ve used it on a bright day and it creates a really nice effect, especially for video. Thanks for the support
Thanks Rauri, I will be picking one up for sure. My videos need all the help they can get
Awesome John thanks a lot let me know how you! They do make the video look a lot more cinematic and less harsh. Thanks again
I low key hate this effect for video but you’re right 1/8 is best. I’ve seen a lot of people overdo this effect and it looks really gimmickish to me. I prefer putting sharpness on -7 in camera for the film/non digital look. These can be a good way to take the edge of small sensor cameras which have an over sharpened harsh digital look that can’t be changed in the menu. Very good explanation and i liked the pictures brother. I agree, these are best for photography ✌️
Strong fighting words! I love the look for video, if used right, and I’m surprised how often it/similar is used for films. Thanks for commenting mate, the sharpness setting as you described would make a nice change. Can definitely be over done easily though you’re right! I wish I had more time to film, as wanted to get more in the day time. Thanks again.
@@RauriBarron No fighting words just different likes. I'm all eyes and ears if you dont agree with anything I say or do on my videos btw. I dont like the corporate circle jerk vibes on RUclips now days but maybe I should just shut up 😅
Nice little review R, that filter set surely gave a beautiful glow to those set pieces. Not really being into video production to this level I suppose the only question I have is does it reduce the available light in any way and if so by how many stops? And are there software filters that produce the same effect without baking it into your footage? And I'm with Adrian i now have an urge for a Whopper 😂😂😂
Thanks for watching mate! Unfortunately in post it’s not as natural, very digital, as I showed with my hand movement over the light that blooming effect coming and going would be challenging to look natural unless used on a lens. I haven’t noticed any reduction in light! Thanks again
@@RauriBarron 🙏🙏🙏
I know you said, you use the 1/8 for the studio. Is the 1/8 your favorite for the youtube videos?
Sure is!
Are these different from Tiffen black mist?
Same thing different brand 😊
It is a peace of glass that has been grinded , the finer the grind the finer the filter , you can make it using a UV filter and some grinding paper . There i saved you 200$ , and gave you a nice DIY project to do ...
Hahaha….’now I am expecting ‘some people’ to comment’….some people!?! You could’ve said my name 😂😜 do you know what though, in all honesty, you’ve almost convinced me with this one. Not 100% with the stills photography (although I’m tempted with the street stuff to give it a whirl, could see a real benefit there) but seeing the video side by side comparisons and the difference in your background lighting, yeah ok I may have to get one 😀…..and that’s the sign of a great video mate 👍🏻
Haha you legend thanks a lot mate! In the end, it’s all for fun and I love using these 😊
I’d be interested to see how it preforms at night doing Astro. 🤔
Ooh very interesting! I’d have no idea but I guess it would be pretty cool and dreamy
Was it you that was telling me that these filters were used a lot for porn films?
P.s. no filter can fix that ugly mug.
🤣
Shh! Don’t spill the beans. And I already said in another comment, make up is next haha 😂
This is a wonderful and interesting channel. I found it very useful. worth subbing and liked ! a fellow creator,,,
Thanks a lot mate
