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?
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 :)
@@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....
@@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.
@@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?
