Astrophotography still is one of the most popular photographic genres in the world and as we are in the middle of the Milky Way season, it is a very good opportunity to take an in-depth look in a very helpful accessory for better night sky photos.
Kenko Tokina's filter and accessory brand Hoya has released a new filter for night sky photographers. It's called the "Starscape Light Pollution Cut Filter," and it's meant to reduce the yellow and greenish color cast caused by city lights when you're trying to capture the stars.
Irix has launched its new line of EDGE light pollution lens filters. The lens filters are designed to help photographers obtain better results when shooting photos of the night sky.
Light pollution is a drag for night sky photographers, usually requiring some post-processing magic in Lightroom or Photoshop to fix. But what if you could slap on a special glass filter that drastically cut down on the light pollution your camera sensor captures? Well... you can.
