This high-quality filter is half color, half clear, featuring a graduated density transition that seamlessly blends into your scene. It's not just a filter; it's a creative tool that allows photographers to either create an illusion or enhance reality. Whether you're looking to add a splash of color to a drab sky, alter a specific color in a scene for a desired special effect, enhance existing color, or create subtle color drama, this versatile filter has got you covered. It's also an excellent solution for achieving more balanced exposure in uneven lighting situations.

The 4x5.65" Color Graduated Blue #3 Soft Edge filter is designed for horizontal orientation, referring to the filter's position in relation to the camera when the grad line is horizontal. Tiffen offers these innovative filters in a wide range of sizes and colors, with options for soft, hard, or attenuated gradients as special orders.

The type of lens you use can influence whether you opt for a Tiffen Color-Grad with a "hard" edge or "soft" edge. For telephoto lenses, which utilize a small portion of the filter, a hard edge is recommended as a soft edge could get lost in the image. Conversely, for wide-angle lenses that make objects appear smaller, a soft edge is suggested as a hard edge gradient could appear as a harsh straight line. The soft edges and attenuators are perfect for subtle blending with irregular-shaped subjects or unusual lighting.

In essence, the 4x5.65" Color Graduated Blue #3 Soft Edge filter is a durable, versatile, and innovative solution for photographers looking to push the boundaries of their creativity and capture stunning, professional-grade images.
