Creative filter to create a moderately sized fairytale-like 4-cross pattern on point light sources in your photo. A SPARK INSIDE OF US Imagine spending a warm spring night with your friends around a campfire going with your date to a festive illuminated park during a cold winter evening or watching a raindrop calmly running down a flower after... morea summer storm. These scenes create a special feeling of coziness and ease a feeling that flickers like a warm spark inside of us. We have created this filter to give us the chance to show this feeling of warmth in our photo. The filter is designed to create moderately sized light beams from light sources while gently enhancing them letting them appear like tiny sparks and creating a warm and joyful atmosphere just like the feeling inside of us. Get to know the HOYA SPARKLE. THE SPARKLE EFFECT Conventional cross filters may appear with overly long light beams cluttering and totally overloading your photos. Rather than letting the cross effect take over your photo the HOYA SPARKLE aims to create a joyful atmosphere subtly through creating only moderately sized light beams. While doing so the light sources themselves are also being gently enhanced creating a perfect balance between strength of the light source and length of the light beams. Light sources can be anything such as stars light reflecting on water or sunrays breaking through the crown of a tree.
