For anyone who is interested; when Tiffen created Pro Mist filters they created the different strengths in order to provide a consistent level of filtration across the range of focal lengths because the filtration effect increases as the focal length of the lens becomes more telephoto. A 1/4 pro mist (black or white) will be much stronger on an 85mm lens than it will be on a 25mm lens. A common formula for using Pro Mist filters is 1/2 for 18mm and wider, the 1/4 for 25-35mm and 1/8 for 50mm and above. This principle applies to all diffusion filters. I hope this information is useful.
This is the first I've heard anything about focal lengths factoring into all this. So if I tent to shoot around 35mm and a bit lower, what is the recommended strength for that? I do want subtle, but not so subtle I'm left wondering if I should've just done it in post.
With the 1/8th, I could barely tell a difference too. But when I started using a 1/4, it's super noticeable, but just enough that it doesn't soften the image TOO much. It never leaves my 18-35
@@blackentrepreneur244 same here the 1/4 never leaves my 35mm. I feel like the 1/8 is just not strong enough for my taste. The 1/4 is just perfect for me
love this video. great vibes. I use a 1/8 on my 50 1.2 and a 1/4 on my 85mm 1.8. The 1/4 creates the bloom effect. try to shoot indoors with window lighting and you will see what beauty it creates!
It seems from what you can see from youtubes compression, that it does help to take that digital edge off the images, as well as softens out the highlights. Hopefully you do that 1/4 version would like to see the difference.
The way Mitch colour grades doesn't not make the most out of the mist filter. Just my thoughts. There's a strength in retouching with a mist filter and Mitch hasn't got that yet
I have the Pro Mist 1/4 and some shots the effect is very subtle and not so obvious as you mentioned, but then you get others where the effect really shows and the results are stunning. I guess it's really a case of learning how to get the best from it... Anyway another great video and I would love to see more with this filter.
I love the colors of the video itself as well as the photos! -The soft pink sunset glow - What kind of filter/editing did you add for this video? Thank you in advance!
Love the video, Mitch! It really gave me a nostalgic summer feel as we are suffering through winter in the northern hemisphere lol! the shots look amazing and the composition and framing is very pleasing! amazing stuff man!
Nice photos, but 1/8 for stills is too subtle in this use case. You could have easily gone up to 1/2. In movie productions the tighter shots get stronger filtration because it’s less obvious, and wide shots get lighter values.
Great video. I am curious what the ¼ filter would look like. I loved how subtle this one was, but the difference was rather negligible, or at least I couldn't see much of a difference on youtube. Thanks again for great content
Love the look with the filter, Mitch 👍📸 Thanks for sharing. How good is that field with the high grass?! Would love to find sth like this around Sydney.
Thanks for the video. Your model had great cheek bones and an exotic face. Wish you had taken more face shots and less full-length and ¾ length portraits. I use 77mm Tiffen Black Pro Mist #1 and #3 filters on my 85mm f/1.4 Nikkor lens and on my 180mm RB67 medium format lens.
Cane fields are more of a QLD thing - we have a lot here because of the climate. Around grafton is where the fields sort of stop. Might be worth a trip if you like it? :) this particular field is in Stapylton, QLD. DM me on instagram if you ever need directions!
im not a pro photographer but i didnt like the first photos on the field because you took some of the depth dark color away. less contrast. my english is not that good to explain that but yea. i somehow like the unedited more
Love this mitch 🌾 i love the glow effect, i always put down the clarity on all my photos. It’s my style ☺️ R6 is great, defs want to buy this filter for filmmaking! Love the location as well!!
These pics are a great example if its not broken dont fix it, the before pics looked far better then the edited ones, all those colorful orange tones all gone
This video is so silly if you're trying to show us what the difference is between shots with and without the pro mist filter why are you showing us edited photos? It's makes no sense. Edited photos obviously completely change the character of the photo and are completely useless to the comparison. I like a lot of your videos but I just got to speak my mind on this one. :)
