Yes, the Black Net 3 Soft Focus Filter is suitable for both indoor and outdoor settings, and its effect is particularly heightened by back-lighting.
The Black Net filter softly reduces focus and contrast for a subtle effect, while the White Net filter provides a stronger softening effect. The Flesh Net filter adds a warming effect to the soft focus, ideal for infusing warmth into the image.
The Net filters are designed to be used with cameras that can accommodate a 4x4" resin filter, which includes many DSLR and video cameras with the appropriate filter holder.
To maintain your filter, gently wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn stains, use a small amount of lens cleaning solution, being careful not to scratch the resin surface.
