The main purpose of this filter is to balance the exposure between bright skies and darker foregrounds in an image, particularly in landscape and architectural photography. It enhances the vibrancy of dull or hazy skies and provides a distinct transition between light and dark areas.
'Hard-edge' refers to the style of graduation on the filter. Hard-edge filters have a more abrupt transition between the colored and clear sections, making them ideal for scenes with a defined horizon line.
The rectangular shape of the filter allows for selective positioning within the frame. This gives you greater control over where the yellow edge sits in your image, allowing for more creative freedom.
The 1 1/3-stop density reduces the exposure of the highlights in your photos, allowing the shadows to remain relatively unchanged. This results in a more balanced exposure in high-contrast scenes.
While this filter can be used in various types of photography, it is especially effective in landscape and architectural photography where there are often high-contrast scenes with bright skies and darker foregrounds.
