I'm merely a novice
My camera is greatly under-utilized, I really need to step up my game.
I did have an opportunity recently to use this shimmer filter in a couple of settings and I have to say the most noticeable difference revealed itself when I took a couple of close-ups of my face. I had no makeup on and posed under harsh sunlight. It definitely softened the frame and removed shadows. One of the things I find difficult as a person with very dark skin is capturing my skin tone accurately in photographic images. In different exposures and settings, I can appear much lighter than I actually am, which is not a desirable effect - at least not to me. This filter does give somewhat of a lighter appearance to my skin tone, but not dramatically. It was useful in capturing a softer version of the actual environment, which is a plus if you can't alter the amount or quality of light. Overall I think this filter would be useful in softening light without completely altering the subject altogether.
