Tiffen 77mm North Star Effect Filter
Key Features
  • Creates Points of Streaking Light
  • Rotating Mount
  • Works Best With Point Light Sources
  • Excellent for Weddings/Special Effects
The 77mm North Star Filter from Tiffen creates multiple points of light, or "stars," streaking outward from a central light source. This filter comes in a rotating mount for critical placement of the star effect.

This filter is especially useful for wedding photographers. It helps create a romantic, special effect mood which clients desire. North Stars are best used with a point light source such as a candle, match, flashlight or streetlight.

Tiffen's ColorCore glass is produced through a process that entails permanently laminating the filter material in between two pieces of optical glass that are ground flat to tolerances of a ten-thousandth of an inch, then mounting them in precision aluminum rings.

Tiffen North Star Overview

The 77mm North Star Filter from Tiffen creates multiple points of light, or "stars," streaking outward from a central light source. This filter comes in a rotating mount for critical placement of the star effect.

This filter is especially useful for wedding photographers. It helps create a romantic, special effect mood which clients desire. North Stars are best used with a point light source such as a candle, match, flashlight or streetlight.

Tiffen's ColorCore glass is produced through a process that entails permanently laminating the filter material in between two pieces of optical glass that are ground flat to tolerances of a ten-thousandth of an inch, then mounting them in precision aluminum rings.

The effect is produced by a series of thin lines etched into the flat optical surface of a clear filter
Exciting and dazzling star effects generated from original point or reflected light sources with the added glitter and sparkle of these exclusive, natural looking asymmetrical designs and shapes
Great for water scenes, candle flames, street lights, and more
Tiffen offers 4, 6, and 8 point symmetrical star effects as well as additional asymmetrical star patterns through their exclusive Hollywood FX Series (North, Hyper, Vector and Hollywood star effects)
Tiffen's ColorCore glass is sealed between two optical glass sheets. In this way, Tiffen can better control the various densities of their filters and thereby create more exact degrees of filtration. This process makes for greater accuracy of color as opposed to glass that is simply dyed and become subject to deviation during the dye process
Tiffen, a leader in the filter industry, proudly makes its filters in the USA and backs up its products with a solid 10-year warranty

I love this filter. I’m a lazy and cheap photographer, reasoning most things filters do can be done with a bit of time and effort in photoshop. However, why do in photoshop what you can do with a filter at the time of photographing? The effect this filter gives is so cool and the ability to rotate the angle is a bonus. Last night I tried it out with candles and I never want to photograph a “naked” candle again. The sun is now a star in the sky rather than a blobby hotspot. Decorative lights sparkle with magic and drew drops wink. It can be overpowering when there are a lot of light spots but that’s when my good friend photoshop steps back in.
