In contrast, the No. 1 provides a greater light diffusing effect in strong backlighting or night scenes. In nightlife street photography, both No. 0.5 and No. 1 can be used. However, if there are light sources close to the camera, the diffusing effect of No. 1 may be too strong, making No. 0.5 more suitable. In nightscape photography with distant light sources, the effect of No. 0.5 might be too subtle, and No. 1 will achieve a clearer effect. The choice of filter in settings with backlighting depends on the strength of light. With strong backlighting, the No. 0.5 is the preferred filter, while with weak backlighting, the No. 1 is recommended to make the effect more visible. In low light situations, the No. 1 is recommended to achieve a standout effect, while the No. 0.5 is a better fit for photographers who prefer a subtle effect. The Mist Diffuser Black No. 0.5 is particularly suitable for night scenes and backlit scenes when the sun starts to set. The soft effect is stronger when the lens's focal length is on the telephoto side and weaker at the wide-angle side. The effect may vary depending on the type of light source and other shooting conditions like shutter speed. The final result will also change depending on the exposure compensation, so it is recommended to use exposure compensation if necessary.
