Other standard diffusion filters like the CineBloom have what looks like a mist inside like almost they were hit with a can of hairspray.

Pros – Adds a diffusion effect that’s not as obvious as other types of diffusion filters, the diffusion has a nice depth to it.

Additionally, these filters maintain a clear, overall in-focus image, offering a filmic aura to digital acquisition.

I generality would recommend Glimmer Glass for daylight and controlled lighting conditions, like a home studio YouTube for a nice natural diffusion with depth. Further, I don’t use a lens hood, because I want the full glory of the filter to come through in the images.

Chris's editorial work includes not only editing and scheduling articles but also writing them himself. When production starts and people see the glittering on the front of the lens, they become more confident in the knowledge that the filter is working for them and they may also turn in a better performance. The Glimmerglass series of filters also has a benefit of sparkling when viewed, which can add reassurance to your talent when shooting beauty; that way you can fully concentrate on the look of your shot. 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. Specular highlights are little points of detail that your eye and the camera both don’t naturally pick up.While these are expensive, ultimately I recommend trying a few different types of filters to see what works for your situation. This makes the lower end of the glimmer glass diffusion line produce a non-destructive or invasive look. Notice how the direct light affects diffusion filters a lot, especially Cinebloom that completely spreads out the highlights over a big area. This is a process in which the filter substrate is laminated between 2 pieces of optical glass and ground flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. Many of us don’t want to sit in front of a computer editing images because we like the look of film.

The Tiffen Glimmerglass Filter is a diffusion/beauty filter designed to produce a more flaterring image for skin tones in particular for close-ups and portraits. I really like the look, especially for daylight street photography where you’re going for a more analog film quality and this might actually be the best filter for the daytime film look.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. It still adds a nice dimensionality that I haven’t really seen with the other diffusion filters and it has a more natural look. A first in this field is the fact that the filter is both effective to look at as well as to look through. Tiffen Glimmerglass ® is a line of diffusion filters that produces a soft clean halation around practical and specular light sources, while keeping an apparent sharpness on the overall image.
