Last week I posted about the Mount July filter company and their inaugural Kickstarter campaign. So far they've managed to raise just over two-thirds of their US$ 32 000 target in just over a week. Since then, Mount July have also updated the project page with several photographs taken while using their range of their multi-coloured filters, as well as pictures of the individual filters themselves.
Here's what the three individual filter colour options look like
While a lot of the pictures uploaded to Mount July's Facebook page feature photos taken while using two filters stacked on top of one another (which create some really dreamy effects), there are a few taken using only a single filter at a time. I've chosen one of each of these pictures from their Facebook to share with you, as they really show off the type results achievable with only a single Mount July filter attached to your camera lens.
Stinson (left): This filter looks to simulate an effect similar to over-exposing a scene. It also creates subtle vignetting, which although often undesirable, can result in some creative shots.
Sayulita (right): In contrast, this has been my favourite filter since I first found out about the project. The contrasting colour enhancements caused by the yellow to violet colour gradient immediately caught my eye. If I only ever order one filter from Mount July it will be this one.
Sedona (left): Finally the Sedona creates an even more dramatic vignetting effect, while distorting the colouration around the periphery of the composition.
To get an even better idea of the results achievable you can see a few more examples here, although it doesn't say which filters were used to create the shots.
I really hope these guys reach their goal. The creators say they would like for Mount July to reach all seven continents, well if these filters do become a reality, I'll ensure some of them reach Africa.
