Soft lens of camera filter

Soft light mirror is also called soft focus mirror and hazy mirror. Its function is to soften all the pictures taken. This kind of filter has a ring-shaped or grid-shaped halo layer on its surface, and its imaging effect is a bit like the unique aberration of the old lens, so it is often used to show romantic scenes or portraits of old people (which can hide facial wrinkles). Using this kind of mirror can produce a soft and clear effect. Used to soften the skin color of a portrait, which makes the skin feel better. Shooting portraits can soften wrinkles, spots, pores, etc. Human skin creates a delicate, rich, youthful and charming effect. Soft lens is suitable for portrait shooting and landscape shooting, which can suppress and beautify the skin, wrinkles or facial defects of the elderly and make them look younger and more beautiful. But when the light is dark or the contrast of the scene is low, the effect of soft mirror is not so ideal, because soft mirror will reduce the contrast of the scene.

Soft images are not the same as unclear images caused by inaccurate focus or excessive jitter. The scenery shot by soft lens is based on the clarity of the image itself, which has a slightly blurred illusory effect. Unlike out-of-focus or jitter, soft lens only weakens the contrast of the image through halo. There are three kinds of soft lenses to choose from, among which 1 soft lens has weak softening effect, No.2 is in the middle, and No.3 soft lens has the strongest softening effect, so it can be selected according to needs in practical use. In order to achieve the effect that some images are clear and prominent, but the surrounding images are blurred, there are also some soft lenses that use transparent glass or holes in a certain part of the lens. According to the different positions of holes, these soft lenses are called hollow soft lenses and edge space soft lenses. In addition, there are two differences between soft lenses: diffusion film, which makes the whole image have soft focus effect and is suitable for taking portraits. Softeners A and B are different from the former, with clear focus and obvious gradient effect, especially when used in point light source. When using a soft lens, in order to enhance the soft light effect, the aperture can be appropriately increased. The trick is to arrange the bright part of the picture in the best position. In addition, the longer the focal length, the better the soft light effect. In addition, due to softening, the autofocus function of the camera may not be available. In order to get good focus, the camera should be changed to manual focus mode at this time. There are also several filters similar to soft lens, such as crescent soft lens, which are designed by professional studios to create special effects for wedding photography. Crescent-shaped mirror, soft on the top and rigid on the bottom. The crescent-shaped mirror is hazy and soft, which can give people an elegant and dreamy feeling and is full of romance. It is one of the most popular mirrors in wedding photography. There is also an atomizing mirror, which is a common filter for natural scenery photography and is also widely used in advertising photography and portrait shooting. It can make the work foggy and increase the sense of atmospheric perspective. According to the intensity of lens diffusion, different models are divided. A strong lens can produce a dense fog effect, and a weak lens can produce a mist effect. In addition, the exposure will also have an impact on the intensity of fog. Soft lens and fog lens can be used not only for still life or romantic portrait photography, but also for daily photography themes to create a surreal atmosphere. Using color filter to soft focus the local area to keep the theme clear in the central area is helpful to guide the audience's attention to focus on the theme. From this point of view, I suggest using a larger aperture to distinguish clear and hazy contrast images.
