This year, K&F CONCEPT created a campaign to stimulate photographers’ creativity. The campaign is called “See Your Golden Hour” and it’s a great way to put the company’s excellent products to good use. Specifically targeting landscape, portrait, and creative (or storytelling) photography, this campaign also gives participants a chance to win amazing prizes worth $1,500!

Alongside this, on November 21st they’ll launch a Black Friday sale on some of their most exciting and unique products. The sale puts forwards some of the company’s products ideally matched to the campaign: their award-winning tripods best suited for beaches, mountains and portraits; casual and travel camera bags, and creative effect filters. To make things simple, we summarized the best deals here.

Filters To Let Your Creativity Flow

Filters make it easy to generate new opportunities and unleash your creative side. This is especially true when benefiting from the beautiful Golden Hour light. K&F CONCEPT offer a wide range of filters which consistently score among the best in the industry for color neutrality and resolution.

Neutral density filters are an almost-essential part of any toolkit. K&F CONCEPT offer many, among which the waterproof variable ND2-ND400 Nano-Xcel Series and the True Color Variable ND2-32 + CPL Nano-X Series. Both offer superb accuracy and ease of use thanks to easy-to-find adjustment tabs.

The VND+CPL uses a clever dual-tabs mechanism to adjust the attenuation and polarizer separately. Friction is fantastic and the filters stay in place when set. For a simpler (but just as good) Circular Polarizer, the 28 Layer Super Slim Circular Polarizing Filter, part of the Nano-Xcel Series, is the way to go. No yellow cast, no resolution decrease, it enhances colors for a rich image.

Black Mist filters are often used to enhance artificial light at night. They can also be used to See Your Golden Hour and create an ethereal mood, especially for portraiture. K&F CONCEPT’s Black Mist Filter 1/4 is also part of the Nano-Xcel Series, ensuring excellent water and scratch resistance and high optical clarity.

To create the ultimate signature look, special effect filters can be the way to go. Star filters such as K&F CONCEPT’s 3-pieces set (with 4, 6 and 8 points stars) offer fine control over the number of stars created around light sources. The filters can be rotated to perfectly orient the rays. Blue Streak Filters Nano-Xcel Series takes things further by adding blue translucent lines across images and passing through any light sources. This creates a unique effect akin to flare but much better controlled. It can also be oriented in any direction. When Seeing Your Golden Hour, this effect can completely change the mood and feel of an image.

The Kaleidoscope and Spiral Halo filters have no equal. Both preserve excellent center sharpness and produce their special effect on the edges. The Kaleidoscope Filter has a faceted surface which multiplies the center portion all around it. In a controlled environment, it makes for a beautiful result, but the filter truly shines during when outside Golden Hour, where it can collect the signature atmosphere of this beautiful time.

The Spiral Halo does things similarly, but in a more subtle way. Instead of facets, it has a curved surface surrounding the flat center portion. This offers a gradually increasing swirl farther from the center, for an ethereal glow. This filter is particularly well suited for portraiture.

To protect your gear when on location to See Your Golden Hour, there is no better option than a UV filter. K&F CONCEPT’s MCUV Protection Filter with 28 Multi-Layer Coatings is also part of their Nano-Xcel Series and will offer protection without affecting your images.
