The Neutral Density filter in the Tiffen 58mm DV Select Filter Kit 3 is designed to reduce the amount of light reaching the sensor of your camera. This allows you to control exposure without affecting color balance. It's particularly useful for capturing special effects, such as the 'blur' effect of moving water or city traffic.
The Ultra Circular Polarizing filter included in the Tiffen 58mm DV Select Filter Kit 3 is designed to reduce glare and increase contrast in your photos. It's especially useful for shooting in bright conditions where glare can be a problem, such as at the beach or snow.
The Black Promist 1/4 filter in the Tiffen 58mm DV Select Filter Kit 3 is used to increase contrast and reduce haze in your photos. This can help to create a more dramatic and clear image, especially in outdoor or hazy conditions.
These filters are designed to be used with any digital camera that can accommodate a 58mm filter size. It's always a good idea to check your camera's specifications to ensure compatibility.
The Neutral Density filter in the Tiffen 58mm DV Select Filter Kit 3 helps in controlling the depth of field by allowing you to shoot at wider apertures. This can result in images with a sharp subject against a beautifully blurred background.

The Tiffen 58mm DV Select Filter Kit 3 contains everything you need to get that spectacular outdoor shot or scenic portrait.
A Tiffen Solid Neutral Density 0.6 (2-stop) Filter has several uses and offers the possibility to achieve otherwise unachievable results. It enables the shooter to adjust exposure without affecting color balance. An ND filter appears gray and reduces the amount of light reaching either the sensor of a digital camera or the film plane of a traditional film camera.
A Neutral Density filter is used to create some unusual special effects such as capturing the "blur" of the rippling water of a waterfall or the swirling effect of city traffic. Since it allows the use of slower shutter speeds in bright light, it becomes possible to create these special effects that would normally not be possible to capture without the filter. And, since it can also help to control your depth of field, it permits you to shoot at wider apertures. Ultimately, its value is in helping to prevent bright, overly washed out images shot in bright light.
Determining which neutral density filter yields ideal results for any given lighting situation takes knowledge, experience and a collection of such filters. Choose the filter strength which adjusts the lighting to stay within the exposure latitude (greatest difference between bright/dark values) which still shows details in both of the digital or film medium in use.
