How the Black Mist filters affect your images

The NiSi Black Mist filters create a soft, pastel-like quality of light. In practice, they diffuse bright light sources to produce a pleasant bloom while shadows retain their shade and blackness. At the same time, these filters reduce overall contrast and soften wrinkles and blemishes, making them suitable when you want a subtler, more atmospheric image without losing important detail.
