POP MULTI-COLOUR

 

Pop filters come as a set of three. They are primary RED, GREEN and BLUE.

If you take three separate photographs of a subject that contains some movement through each of the filters in turn and then combine those three R,G and B images you get a true colour photo except for where the movement has occured. It is necessary to get the relative exposures correct as different camera sensors have different sensitivities to R G and B.

This is easily done by taking 3 individual photographs of a white piece of paper through the R G and B filters in turn then repeat modifying the ratio of the exposures of each colour until merging them give a white piece of paper as the image. In the photos used below you can see the clouds, plants and hanging baskets, which were moving, all have coloured fringes - the object of using pop filters.
