Product Description

The Heliopan Cross Filter (6-Point) transforms bright light sources—such as street lamps, candles, or reflections—into beautiful, twinkling star patterns. Light streaks radiate outward from the source, adding a glamorous, cinematic sparkle to your images. This makes it a popular choice for wedding photography, portraits, and night scenes.

The effect is created by microscopically etched lines on the optical surface of the filter. Star intensity depends on the size, brightness, and shape of the light source, as well as focal length and aperture. Longer focal lengths, wider apertures, and smaller light sources enhance the star effect.
⚠️ Note: The 6-point pattern is bold and eye-catching—best used creatively to avoid overpowering the scene.
