Picture Info:
I was planning to post this yesterday night when my internet connection suddenly went down.. =.=" This is actually quite an old pic of mine taken on the top floor of Orchard Central using my star-8 filter for the first time...

A little info about star filters:
Star filters create points of light, like "stars," streaking outward from a central light source. This can make lighting within the scene take on a more glittering, glamorous appearance. This effect is produced by a series of thin lines etched into the flat optical surface of a clear filter. These lines act as cylindrical lenses, diffracting light points into long thin lines of light running perpendicular to the etched lines. Lines on the filter positioned horizontally produce vertically oriented star lines.

It's true that star filters are awesome. Changing point-sources of light into stars are undeniably beautiful. Yet, since I've been taking pictures mainly in daylight, they haven't been into use for quite a while already. I guess I might be trying for some night shots in the near future :D.. Please click on the picture to enlarge! ^^
