About the seriesThe MIST DIFFUSER BLACK is a soft-type filter that diffuses light and suppresses the contrast between highlights and shadows to create exquisite nuances reminiscent of a scene in a movie. The beauty of the MIST DIFFUSER BLACK is that you can obtain cinematic textures on the spot, without retouching.
Type NO0.5 & NO1
The MIST DIFFUSER BLACK No0.5 has a rather subtle diffusing effect, making the filter perfect in settings with strong backlighting. The No1 has a comparatively stronger light diffusing effect, making the filter great in low light scenes.
In video & cinema
The cinematic effect is not only great in photography, but also excels in videos and movies. It pushes a little bit back that recent trend of "over sharpness" and gives a vintage look that is reliably repeatable across various cameras and lenses.
The MIST DIFFUSER BLACK also takes away the time-consuming work to add a diffusion effect in post-production and provides instant feedback on the set.
For an impressive light in nightscape
Through diffusing light around light sources and suppressing shadow contrasts, the image gets a stylish cinematic look. In contrast to common soft-filters, the MIST DIFFUSER BLACK does not whiten the image.
Smoothens skin
Through its soft-effect, the MIST DIFFUSER BLACK smoothens skin texture and reduces overall contrast. This gives models a stylish look, which makes the filter perfect for portrait shots.
Difference between NO0.5 and NO1
The HOYA MIST DIFFUSER BLACK is available in No0.5 and No1. Compared to other soft filters, the MIST DIFFUSER BLACK No1 does not whiten the image, and compared to the No0.5, has a greater light diffusing effect in strong backlighting or night scenes. The No0.5 creates a more subtle effect, making the filter perfect even with strong backlighting or in situations with strong light sources close to the camera.
Tips for shooting
MIST DIFFUSER BLACK No0.5 and No1 are recommended for different scenes. No0.5 is suitable for night scenes and backlit scenes when the sun starts to set, while No1 is more suitable for forward lit or low light situations.The soft effect is stronger when the focal length of the lens is on the telephoto side and weaker at the wide-angle side.The effect may vary depending on the type of light source and other shooting conditions like for example shutter speed.The effect seen in the viewfinder and the result of shooting (depending on print, monitor size, etc.) may differ.The final result will also change depending on the exposure compensation, so it is recommended to use exposure compensation if necessary.

...awkward book to rate...
Format: Kindle
This is an awkward book to rate as: the facts all seem to be there, hut the presentation is a touch below par for a 'Captivating History' book.
There is a light garnish of literary and grammatical errors, a dose of waffle here and there, the chronology can jump back and forth and - I may have been distracted, but: I do not recall reading about what ultimately happened to Haile Selassie
Most of the final, extended, chapter just repeats what has previously been covered.
STILL - it's a most interesting period in history.

A not often studied part of African history
Format: Kindle
This book presents the history of Ethiopia up to the Italian invasion as a backdrop giving the culture and the nature of the Ethiopian Empire. Ethiopia has a history of more than 3,000 years and converted to Christianity about the same time that the Roman Empire did. During the medieval period remained strong in Christianity and traded with the East as well as with medieval Europe. It was one of the most advanced countries in the world at that time. When Italy started trying to build up an empire and catch up because of its lag behind the rest of Europe in Empire building, Ethiopia was one of the last parts of Africa that was not yet a colony of a European power. Italy and made a failed attempt at conquering Ethiopia but when Mussolini took power in Italy he decided to rebuild the grandeur of Roman Empire. This book takes you through the war with Italy and tells it from the Ethiopian side as well as presenting some of the concepts of the Italian side as well. Hey you will also become acquainted with the major players on both sides of the Italian Ethiopian war. It is well researched and it describes the war, the struggle that both the Ethiopians and the Italians had during the war and the final conclusion and how the war ended. The book has been well researched and is very interesting. I found this to be an excellent book to explain the war in North Africa as well as the struggle for independence of the Ethiopians. This is a book that I would like to have had when I was teaching world history. I highly recommend this book and feel that it is a great addition to anyone's library.

A little-mentioned history
Format: Kindle
Captivating History has released a publication that tells of the period when Italy, under the government of Mussolini, invaded Ethiopia and overthrew the government of Haile Salassee. This war was revenge for Italy's loss against Ethiopia in 1896 but weakened Italy which helped its decision to align with Hitler.
For Ethiopia, the invasion represented a major setback, as it lost its independence and became subject to Italian colonial rule until the defeat of Italy in World War II. Haile Selassie returned to Ethiopia in 1941 after the British, in alliance with Ethiopian resistance fighters, liberated the country.
The Italian invasion of Ethiopia remains a significant event in African history, highlighting the consequences of colonial aggression and the limitations of international diplomacy in preventing such conflicts. It also played a role in shaping Ethiopia's determination to regain its sovereignty and become a symbol of African resistance against colonialism.
This is a worthwhile read as it explores a little-known facet of African history.

This book is an excellent read! It provides a well-organized and concise summary of Ethiopia’s entire history, which is no small task given the country’s rich and complex past. The writing is consistent, informative, and historically accurate, making it easy to follow and deeply engaging. I especially appreciate how it also includes insights into Eritrea’s history, offering a broader understanding of the region. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a solid, accessible introduction to Ethiopian and Eritrean history. Captivating History did a fantastic job!
