RAINBOW HALO
A lens filter that accentuates the main subject with a swirling blur that envelops it.
The RAINBOW HALO lens filter is a creative optical accessory designed to transform your photos and videos into unique visual artworks. It enhances the main subject with a swirling blur that envelops it, while producing rainbow-colored rings and luminous ghost effects depending on how light is captured.
Key Features
