Color-grad ® Filters
Transform an average sunrise or sunset into something
spectacular or convert a dull, washed-out sky to a
breathtaking blue. No other filter has done as much
to improve landscape photography as the graduated
filter. Add color selectively while leaving the rest of the
scene unaffected.
Half color, half clear with a graduated density transition
for smooth blending into the scene, Tiffen Color-Grad
filters are available in an array of colors and Neutral
Densities .3, .6, and .9. Use in combination, with one
affecting the upper half of the image, the other affecting
the lower half.
Color-grad ® Neutral Density
Filters
Often, you want to balance light intensity between two
areas within a scene. This is important outdoors to allow
more sky detail while properly exposing the foreground.
Exposing for the foreground will produce a washed-out,
over-exposed sky. Exposing for the sky will leave the
foreground dark, underexposed.
Color-Grad Neutral Density filters are part clear, part
neutral density, with a smoothly graded transition
between. A Color-Grad ND.6-to-clear is often best for
balancing sky to foreground. Neutral gray appearance
drops exposure.
