DIY Mist Filter with Hairspray for Cinematic film look!

[@sasukekun1416325]

Looks like the hairspray version is softening the entire image unlike the black pro mist filter being relegated to only the highlights

@@sasukekun1416325 at a certain point it does but in the beginning it's quite simular to the 1/8 . But after all it is hairsoray on a filter 😉

will chose for my favourite hairspray :)

This is a great little hack! A mist filter is an optical diffuser, nothing magical! What you are doing here is putiing diffusive particles on a lens filter. Perfect! I suppose it doesnt mimic perfectly the high-cost filters, but this is FREE. Also, who is to say that the hairspray look isnt better than Black Mist filter?

[@thepirateshoots]

the high-cost filters don't perfectly emulate this amazing effect ;-)

[@thepirateshoots]

I made another modification to a UV filter I found was inferior quality: with a cutter knife, I just cust vertical and horizontal scratches about every 1-2mm to make a "star filter". But don't try it at home, because the effect can't be undone :)

Um. No. Holy shit guy.😂😂😂😂😂😂 I guess if you want to ruin your camera and your lenses this is the way to go.

[@Kim_Alexander]

Tell me exactly how spraying hairspray on a UV-filter would cause any issues for a camera or a lens?

[@donperegrine922]

​@@Kim_Alexander People are pretty unsure of what causes camera problems. People are shit scared of cleaning their sensors, because they don't know what causes sensor damage and thow theu are protected. Thia commenter is probably unsure of what the mechanism is that would cause hairspray to make damage....

[@donperegrine922]

​@@Kim_Alexander Just re-read his teply and he specified lens AND CAMERA, so yeah there is no way on earth hairapray on a filter, applied to a lens will cause a problem for a camera.

The idiocy to invest in a modern system to just cheap out and not buy the legitimate filter is what is baffling. Might as well go back to smearing Vaseline on our filters to make softer photos.

[@donperegrine922]

@@moustachio334 so, because I brought a modern camera, I must always spend top dollar, when I can do the same effect for 13 cents? That's not idiocy. That's the opposite. I have more sense than dollars, ya know?
