Tiffen 49GG1 49mm Glimmer Glass 1 Filter

Product Information

But, I personally like using the two filters in these two different situations, Glimmer Glass for day, Black Pro Mist for night – with street photography anyway.

Tiffen Glimmer Glass 1 is the least extreme filter, it gives a small amount of bloom and pulls down highlight contrast slightly, but shadows seems to be the same. This translates into light entering the lens through this sparkly filter, then hitting the sensor, delivering a bit of shimmer and glow to whatever you photograph. His background and work has spread to non-profits like American Photographic Arts where he's done work to get photographers various benefits. This set of filters allows much more subtle diffusion whilst cutting back on flare and diminishing loss of contrast, maintaining sharpness across the image where it is needed. Further, I don’t use a lens hood, because I want the full glory of the filter to come through in the images.As I stare at these images, I notice little details that my camera wouldn’t have picked up unless I had brought my Profoto lights with me. Of course, there are exceptions, but I believe both sides of the camp would be intrigued by Tiffen Glimmer Glass.

Notice how the direct light affects diffusion filters a lot, especially Cinebloom that completely spreads out the highlights over a big area.

Instead, Glimmer Glass is about getting a look in-camera without extra editing beyond a white balance shift, exposure adjustment, or a film simulation change. You’ll see its fullest effects when you use a fast-aperture lens and actually have bokeh in the scene.

Additionally, these filters maintain a clear, overall in-focus image, offering a filmic aura to digital acquisition. When viewed from the subject's perspective, the filter appears to be sparkling and helps instill confidence in models, resulting in a potentially better performance.

Here you really see how the halos around the direct lights shows, I much prefer the Tiffen halos, but of cause it’s not always a look you want. Other standard diffusion filters like the CineBloom have what looks like a mist inside like almost they were hit with a can of hairspray. To give a quick overview, I prefer the Glimmer Glass filters with daylight photography, and I prefer the Black Pro-Mist filters at night. We are an approved supplier to major broadcasters including BBC and ITV and both our sales and service departments are accredited by key manufactures.

Cons – A lot of reflective orbs when shooting at night under harsh directional lighting, like car headlights and sometimes street lamps. Also, the Black Pro Mist filter is another great option at night as it produces a diffusion look, but it tends to keep the diffusion more localized to the light source so it produces more halo-like effects. Since then, he's learned and adapted to various things in the fields of social media, SEO, app development, e-commerce development, HTML, etc. I see a lot of photographers and videographers using the Glimmer Glass filter under their studio lighting conditions or for vlogging outside, for this use-case the filter is great.
