Gave the Freewell 1/4 mist filter a second try during golden hour.
Honestly, I don’t notice much of a change... it pretty much looks like I shot it without a filter. Maybe the 1/8 would do a better job, or maybe it’s best with no filter at all...
The mist filter doesn’t actually add mist, it’s more about softening the highlights and blooming the light a bit, giving that dreamy, cinematic look.
It’s definitely not meant to improve visibility or cut through haze.
Part of this was filmed...
Tried the Freewell 1/4 mist filter for the first time during golden hour.
To be honest, I can’t really tell the difference... it looks about the same as shooting without it.
Maybe the 1/8 would work better, or maybe no filter at all.
