ノーザンライツ

The colored streaks in this filter catch the light beautifully, creating that cinematic anamorphic look on my street shots at night. It's exactly the dramatic effect I was hoping for.

Point any light source at this thing and the parallel stripes just bloom across the frame in color. I've been shooting neon signs and streetlamps at night, and the effect is way more controlled than I expected from a flare filter. The multicolored lines don't wash out the whole shot either.

I shot some night portraits with a bare bulb in frame and got these clean rainbow streaks running sideways across the highlights, exactly the anamorphic look I wanted. The stripes are subtle until a strong point light hits them, so it never feels like too much on normal shots.
