Black Fog Overview: The all new Tiffen Black Fog Camera
Filters provide an overall atmospheric softening that creates a smooth
wide flare from the highlights yet keeps the blacks, black without
overly muting colors or losing detail in shadows. This more subtle
effect can be used to add an overall look to a project. The New Fogs have been used
extensively in real production conditions by top DPs from around the
globe. Steven Poster, ASC who is gearing up for his next film, says, "I
think they both have similar qualities to the Classic Double Fog when
they are used with digital cameras. They can create a sticky dark day, a
romantic softness emphasizing the highlights, or an atmospheric nighttime motif." To promote long life, only Tiffen filters are manufactured using the exclusive Colorcore Technology® process that laminates the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass, then grinds and polishes them to a precise tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch flatness. |
"On Bridgerton Season 3, we often shot in historical locations that had priceless artwork. Therefore, we were not able to use atmosphere in the air. I achieved a similar look using Tiffen Black Fog Filters. They made it feel like there was ambient diffusion in the space."
Alicia Robbins, Director of Photography
Tiffen Optical Filters
Tiffen filters are manufactured using ColorCore™ technology, a
closely guarded proprietary process that entails permanently laminating
the filter material in between two pieces of optical glass that are
ground flat to tolerances of a ten-thousandth of an inch, then mounting
them in precision metal rings. The ColorCore process allows us to
control the color and density of Tiffen filters, and the characteristics
of special effects filters with much greater accuracy than typical
dyed-in-the-mass filters, which usually exhibit color and density
variations.
Filters, like all crafted optics, are susceptible not only to breakage, but to premature aging caused by environmental factors. Most filters are made up of several layers of materials consisting of glass, dyes, optical cements, chemical compounds, particles etc. Even with protective measures employed, there are many factors that can still affect the longevity of the filter: moisture (prolonged exposure to humidity), excessive heat and excessive light are the most common environmental causes that can affect the filter’s chemistry over time.
To protect your filters and keep them in great working condition for a long time (along with the rest of your camera gear) we recommend making sure to keep the filters stored in a dark, cool, and dry place when not in use. The use of filter pouches or specialized cases will also keep your filters safe from breakage when not in use. If you are in a humid environment, the addition of fresh silica gel packs or a dehumidifier in the room they are stored is also highly recommended. Protecting your filters as you would your camera lenses will ensure many years of use of your filters.
What do you recommend cleaning filters with?
Hand blower first, if it's just light dust, that usually handles it. If you need to clean further, a Kim Wipe sprayed with Tiffen/Pancro Lens Cleaner, work in a circular motion from the middle out.
