What is a cross effect filter?
When and on which occasion do we need to use these cross effect filters?

Star Pattern Effect Creates Gorgeousness in the Light.
The DHG Cross series adds a starburst effect on the point light source to create sparkling photos of nightscapes. Also effective for daytime use, portrait such as shiny lips, or waterside photography.
This filter creates a star pattern at a single point of light from the subject.
The rotating frame is employed to enable free changing of the direction of the pattern.

A cross-effect filter allows you to;
- create various streaking patterns of flare on images derived from an intense light source.
- determine the direction of light by rotating the front frame
- perform specular highlight of the scene by shooting at any aperture
