Humana Films – Documentary Filmmaker & Fixer in Peru

Being a filmmaker is a career that is in a constant movement. Learning is part of the everyday and with this I mean it! As you already know from my previous posts, I made myself as a filmmaker learning everything online from the first day, from equipment, to editing. Happily as in difference with other careers, in this one, I was able to learn a lot online. But of course mostly on the technical part, the rest I had to learn from life. 

A few days ago the international brand K&F got in touch with me to offer me to test one of the filters they sell for photography and filming. I accepted it thinking that it was just another ND filter and I was curious to compare with the other brands I already use but to my surprise this was the ‘Kyf concept 82mm Filtro Black mist Diffusion 1 / 4’’ and I was a bit confused. In my 4 years of doing this job I never heard of this filter before so I was very curious of its capabilities. 

I didn’t check anything online before I tested it as I wanted to discover it myself and what was this about. So there I was, one morning taking pictures of my mom’s garden. During my first shoots I didn’t notice much, more than just a bit blurry on the images. I shoot with Sony alpha cameras which have very sharp edges on the images, so this filter made it a bit softer. I was not impressed at the beginning to be honest but it was not until I shot against the bright sky when I found out what this filter was made for! The filter made the flowers look like they were in heaven! With this bright halo around them, I was impressed!

I understood shortly after that this filter could have a better impact playing with lights at night. So I waited until then to test it with lighting and I was right! I took pictures of the lighting of my apartment and it made it look like a commercial picture right straight off the camera!

This filter mainly plays with the light and the object. I did some comparisons and after checking the results I was blown away. I also tested it a bit on the streets and the lights ended with this nice and soft look!

I was really happy to test the ‘Kyf concept 82mm Filtro Black mist Diffusion 1 / 4’’ but overall that this industry never ends inventing things!. I was surprised that I never heard of this cool filter before. Although I don’t think this is a mandatory filter to use everyday like the ND types, it is definitely something to consider for specific projects and pictures. It has particular results and I love it! 

I love that the filming industry keeps moving and makes it easier for filmmakers so we can focus more on the rest of our job.
