Hoya Sq100 Golden Soft 1/8 - The Artistry of Softening Images

The Hoya Sq100 Golden Soft 1/8 filter is an ingenious tool designed to add a warm, vintage touch to your photographs or videos, by softly blurring objects and enriching the colors with a subtle gold-hued tint. The golden softness produced caters to an array of individual artistic needs, thanks to its availability in different densities – 1/4 and 1/8. The artist has the freedom to select the optimal degree of intensity for every unique shooting situation.

By slightly blurring the objects in frame and fine-tuning the sharpness, the Sq100 Golden Soft adds a gentle glow to light sources. The highlight, however, is the slight warm coloration it imparts to the image. This double-duty feature lends a cinematic vintage charisma to your picture, not to mention an overall warm and friendly ambience. Spectacular for setting a romantic or cheerful scene or capturing landscapes bountiful with warm shades of floral beauty or glowing sunlight.

• In portrait photography, the Sq100 Golden Soft goes beyond softening – smoothing out skin textures while dabbing the skin tone with an inviting warm hint, thereby enhancing the natural luminescence of the model.
• Between the 1/4 and the 1/8 densities, the former undoubtedly provides a stronger softening effect. However, for settings involving intense light sources close to the camera or strong backlighting, the 1/8 is typically favored to avoid overdoing the blur. On the other hand, in low light conditions, or night landscapes with distant light sources or minimal backlighting, the 1/8 might appear too refined, allowing the 1/4 to make a clearer visible impact.
