Photography Accessories + Hoya Hoya 55mm Skintone Intensifier Glass Filter Portrait

This variation of "didymimum" glass enhances pink and reduces both yellow and orange to make skintones more vivid and clear. Combined with an ultra violet filter, it is ideal under fine blue skies.

Of "didymium" glass, this filter increases the color saturation of the blue spectum. It is achieved through the selective blocking of the colors around the color being intensified. Through this process Hoya has developed a filter that subtly increases saturation of blues and blue-greens such as sky and foliage while not giving an over-all color cast to the photograph. The filter is most useful for photographing outdoors in noontime sun, when a circular polarizer is least effective for darkening blue sky.

Also known as a 'didymium' filter, this is used to enhance red, orange and brown subjects to give more color saturation and contrast, while having very little effect on other colors. It can be used in many situations such as architecture where certain building features need emphasising, or for landscapes to enhance foliage and rocky features.

This filter is made by sandwiching a black gauze-like fiber between two pieces of colorless, optical glass in a rotating frame, therefore creating softfocus and with a cross effect. The overall soft-focus is ideal for portraits outdoors with direct lighting or with backlighting. Point light sources at night heightens the cross effect. This effect is somewhat softer than with regular cross screen filters and the diffraction light produces a slight amount of desired flare.

A group of filters made with different varieties of 'didymim' glass, each having its' own properties. Red intensifier enhances red, orange and brown while having very little effect on other colors. Ideal for fall foliage, rustic barns and architecture where certain features need emphasing. Blue intensifier increases the saturation of blue through selective bloch of the other colors around the color being intensified. It increases saturation of blue & blue-green such as sky and foliage while not giving an overall color cast to the photograph. Green intensifier enhances the green spectrum and is used for outdoor shots which include nature, flowers, landscapes and water. Available in all popular sizes.

This filter intensifies and enhances colors in the green spectrum without adversely affecting other colors. It is particularly useful for outdoor shots which include nature, flowers, landscapes and water. Combining with either an Ultra Violet of Polarizer filter increases sharpness and contrast.

Light rays which are reflected by any surface become polarised and polarising filters are used to select which light rays enter your camara lens. @@ They allow you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass etc. @@ They also saturate colors and increase contrast. @@Polarizers come in two variations but have the same effect. Linear polarizers work with older camera meters; Circurlar polarizers are designed for today's newer split-beam metering systems used in auto focus cameras. Check your camera's manual.

It has 25% higher light transmission than standard polarizing film used in current photographic filters. @@Hardened 8 Layer Waterproof Multi-Coating That is Scratch & Stain Resistant: Newly developed industry leading 8-layer multi-coating yields an average light transmission rate of 99.35% between 400 and 700nm (visible spectrum). These coatings greatly reduce reflections off the surface of the glass allowing you tocapture more light in your photos. @@ As with all HOYA multi-coatings,HD HMC is applied in a furnace at high heat, bonding the coating to the surface of the glass. This process is called "hard coating" and it is far more durable than other coating techniques. The chemistryof the top layer is formulated not just to be more durable but to be resistant to oil stains. This means that finger prints and other oils are much easier to remove.

Florescent lighting has characteristics that affect color rendition. This color shift is not usually visual to the human eye but will cause adverse effects on film. When shooting under "daylight" florescents your pictures will have a purplish tone. Hoya's FL-D filter corrects and restores a normal color balance. In industrial situations you might encounter "warm white" florescents which will give a greenish tone, requiring Hoya's FL-W corrective filter. Both filters are available in coated and multi coated (stronger flare prevention) versions and all popular sizes.

Light rays which are reflected by any surface can become polarised and so polarising filters are used to select which light rays enter your camara lens. @@ They allow you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass etc. @@ They also saturate colors and increase contrast. This effect is often used to increase the contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds @@ Hoya's Polarizing filters do not affect the overall color balance of a shot There is a tendency for images seen through the viewfinder when using a Polarizer filter, to appear more blue or brown than they turn out in the photo. Hoya has corrected this with the Wide Band Circular Polarizer Filters.

Absorbs the ultraviolet rays which often makes outdoor photographs hazy and indistinct. A muliti-purpose fine-weather filter for color as well as black and white films. Also serves as a permanent lens protector. HMC (Hoya Multi-Coating) These popular filters are renowned for their ability to minimise reflection at the filter surfaces which reduces flare and ghosting. The result is an average light transmission of over 97%, giving sharp contrast and well balanced color. HOYA HMC filters are recommended for enhancing the performance of today's multicoated lenses.

Photographing solar eclipses and ultra-bright light sources can be extremely dangerous. This filter reduces light values by 9 stops to less than 1/500th of its original intensity and allows safe photography. It can also be used to achieve super slow shutter speeds in daylight to render moving subjects invisible, and will enable you to use slow shutter speeds, especially with high speed films, to record movement in subjects such as waterfalls, clouds, vehicles, etc. It will also decrease depth of field by allowing wider apertures to be used, which helps separate subjects from their background. And this filter allows you to decrease the effective ISO of high speed film (above ISO 400) so it can be used outdoors in bright situations. Neutral Density filters have no effect on color balance, appear grey and reduce the amount of light reaching the film. Multi-coating minimizes reflection at the filter surfaces which reduces flare as well as ghosting.

@@ Reduces the excessive bluishness that frequently occurs in outdoor color photography, especially in open shade under a clear, blue sky. @@ The absorption peak is in the range which corresponds to the film's green spectrum. This means outstanding outdoor shots with superb color balance and clarity under all conditions. @@ Also keeps skin tones free of colored reflections from nearby objects such as the shade of trees.

This set of three strongly colored filters in Moonlight Blue, Vivid Pink and Deep Mauve can be used to give a single color effect over the whole of a picture. Used in daylight, the Moonlight Blue filter gives the effect of a nightime moonlit scene whilst the other two filters allow graphic and unusual images to be produced for special impact.

Neutral Density filters evenly reduce the amount of light passing thru the lens without effecting color. Ideal for reducing bright light in large aperature situations when a narrow depth is field is needed. Allows for slower shutter speeds when blurring or showing of movement is desired. Allows balancing of exposure to highlight a key subject. Lets you use higher speed films in bright light. Hoya Neutral Density filters are available in most sizes and in three strengths: .3 (2X) Reduces the light one f-stop. .6 (4X) Reduces the light two f-stops. .9 (8X) Reduces the light three f-stops.
