Essay #43: Fun with filters: Star


Apollo 14 performs at Battle of the Bands in Mineral Point, WI. These guys have talent--check 'em out!

I like playing with filters. My favorite to use at a concert is a four-point star (six-points can be good, too, but it's usually too much). The filter itself looks like a grid carved into the glass. It does bring the exposure down a stop and makes the focus less crisp, but there's no better way to add a little "star power" to an aspiring band.
