NiSi Filter Allure Streak Orange 2mm 77mm

NiSi Filter Allure Streak Orange 2mm 77mm – Creates prominent horizontal orange streaks

The NiSi Allure Streak Orange 2mm (77mm) produces elongated orange streaks from point light sources. Use it to mimic the characteristic horizontal highlights of anamorphic optics without changing lenses. The filter works when placed perpendicular to a point light source such as the sun, a bulb, or a candle.

How the streak effect is created

The filter contains fine parallel lines placed 2mm apart. When a high-contrast point light source appears in the frame, the lines create symmetric, horizontally extended streaks. This effect draws attention to highlights and can add a cinematic, dramatic look to your image or footage.

Where and when to use it

Use the filter on scenes with distinct point light highlights that contrast with the surrounding image. For example, streetlights, candles, or small studio lights will produce clear streaks. Position the filter perpendicular to each point light source to achieve the intended horizontal elongation.

Key benefits

• Draws attention to a specific part of the frame, or can create a visually dramatic effect

Compatibility and accessories

The filter threads are 77mm. However, you can use step-rings to mount the filter on lenses with smaller filter threads. The package includes a padded pouch for storage and transport, helping to protect the filter when not in use.

Note on usage

For the best results, aim to include clear point highlights with high contrast in your composition. Additionally, remember that the filter produces symmetric, horizontally oriented streaks, so align it accordingly to control the direction and appearance of the highlights.
