Hoya Sq100 Silver Soft 1/8: The Perfect Choice for Cool Cinematic Hues

The effect filter named Hoya Sq100 Silver Soft 1/8 optimizes the softness of objects in images while accentuating cool color tones. This induces a rather cool cinematic atmosphere that makes this filter an excellent tool for both photography and videography. Notably, the Sq100 Silver Soft comes in two densities, 1/4 and 1/8, providing artists the liberty to choose the appropriate strength for each unique situation.

Capitalize on the Blue Tones with Hoya Sq100 Silver Soft

This unique filter, Hoya Sq100 Silver Soft, subtly softens the elements in an image, slightly diminishing their sharpness while enhancing light sources. Its distinguishing feature is its capability to bring out cool color shades in images, particularly those emanating from light sources. The product catalyzes a cold, steel-like, chromatic, or futuristic atmosphere, which makes it an ideal choice for contemporary work, science fiction, as well as nocturnal landscapes with artificial light sources. However, it’s important to note that the filter does not add any color tints and will not have an effect on colors if the environment does not have bluish light sources.

Unlock the Power of Portraits with Silver Soft

In portraiture, the Silver Soft brings smoothness to skin texture while simultaneously enhancing cool color tints. This unique feature can be utilized to make subjects appear more "cold" or serious, or maintain a more natural skin tone in certain environments.

Choosing the Perfect Density: 1/4 or 1/8?

The Sq100 Silver Soft filter is available in two densities: 1/4 and 1/8. The 1/4 density generally gives a stronger softening effect. In situations with strong light sources near the camera or intense backlights, 1/8 density is usually preferred to avoid an overly strong effect. For low-light settings or night landscapes with distant light sources or scarce backlights, the 1/8 can be too subtle, and the 1/4 becomes the preferred choice for a more visible effect.
