Stars
![]() Add some sparkle to your night shots, city skylines, street scenes, lampposts, streetlights, car headlights, candle lights, and gaslights, any place there's sources of points of light. Make the lights all come to life like magic with star filters. The sun reflecting off lake water can be an extremely interesting image. If you get up at dawn after a ice storm before the sun goes to work, everthing is an interesting subject to capture
Depending on the properties of the filter, you get points of light surrounded by 2, 4, 8 or 16 rays.(058, 057, 056, 055) The best effect is achieved against a dark background and with a relatively short exposure. The stars can be positioned as desired by turning the filter. The more powerful and point-shaped the source of light is, the more intense and longer the rays of the star. They also cause a certain degree of contrast reduction. They can additionally be used as soft-focus attachments . The Cokin Star filters can be used with all other Cokin filters
Thanks to the unique Cokin filter holder, you can combine this type of filter with square filters. With a Coupling Ring and another filter holder, you can combine two Cokin Star fiIters to increase the number of stars, although diffusion will be more noticeable.
