Starlight mirror, also known as light mirror or scattering mirror, is a special filter. Different types of vertical and horizontal linear stripes are carved on the glass of starlight mirror by etching. Under the action of point light source, the bright points in the shooting scene can diffract, so that each light source point on the shooting photo emits light of a specific harness, To achieve a radiant effect.
According to the number of fine lines carved on the starlight mirror and the patterns composed of fine lines, it will produce star flashes with different effects. Common starlight mirrors mainly include: one character, cross, meter character, snowflake mirror, etc., and special ones include: Victor star, Polaris, etc. When shooting jewelry, water, starlight, lights and other scenes, you can get different types of light. The starlight mirror softens the image slightly, but its main function is to create a radiant effect around the light source. Starlight mirror is usually used to shoot the light of night scene or the reflection of objects to achieve a radiant effect and make the photos have a dreamy artistic effect.
Starlight lens is a kind of
Color Filter widely used in commercial advertising photography. It can produce a radiant effect at the highlight of the subject. If the starlight mirror is used, soft starlight will appear in the high light parts of glassware and metal products, making the picture shining.
The light effect of starlight mirror in use is affected by focal length, aperture and light spot. The effect of using a telephoto lens is usually better than a telephoto lens. The aperture around F8 is better; If the aperture is too large, the light line will become an intermittent short line; The aperture is too small and the light effect is worse. The smaller and brighter the light spot, the better the light effect. The dark background is also an important condition to ensure the light effect, so the effect of using starlight mirror is particularly significant in night shooting, which can often make the night scene shine.
