The main purpose of this filter is to reduce the amount of light entering the camera lens, allowing for a wider aperture and slower shutter speed. This creates a shallower depth of field and more blurred background. It's also perfect for capturing motion effects like blurring rippling water or creating a streaking effect for flying birds.
Its versatility comes from the ability to fine-tune your shots to a more precise degree with an additional half stop. The larger width of the filter also allows for easy adjustment for the horizon line within the holder.
A Graduated Neutral Density Filter is a type of filter where the density varies gradually from the edge to the center. This allows for a more natural transition between the darkened and unaltered areas of the image.

Nice filter. I am concerned about damaging it though, so we shall see. As anything Lee, it is rather expensive!

Great. At first I was leary of having a filter bigger than the holder. But after using it and adjusting the filter area up and down I was sold. Very cool.
