HOW TO USE STAR FILTERS: HOT TIPS!
Here are a few main points on how to use and master star filters that will come into the hands of both beginners and more expert photographers.
POINT 1: POINT LIGHT SOURCE
Star filters are effective only on point light sources. Linear light sources, like neon lamps, etc., or flat light sources, like from device screens, etc., are not suitable light sources when using star filters.
POINT 2: CHECK LIGHT OUTPUT
The resulting cross-effect of Star filters may vary depending on the intensity of the light source you are shooting at or the distance from it. Make sure that the light output meets the desired effect by checking it through the camera’s viewfinder or monitor.
Moreover, star (STAR 4) filters equipped with a rotating frame allow to change the cross angle by simply rotating the filter frame from straight (+) to slightly tilted (x). In this case, too, check the desired angle through the camera’s viewfinder or monitor before shooting.
POINT 3: FOCAL LENGTH AND APERTURE
The most suitable setting when shooting with star filters would be at 50mm or longer focal length and at almost maximum aperture. With wide-angle lenses, or with a too-closed aperture, light rays may appear fragmented on the final image.
