Just when you thought your photography couldn't get more vibrant, the 4x5.65" Coral 2 Soft Edge Graduated Filter from Tiffen emerges as a game-changer for visual artists and professional photographers alike. This horizontal orientation filter is a staple in the industry, known for its ability to craft illusions or amplify the reality captured through your lens.

The Coral 2 Soft Edge Graduated Filter excels in a variety of applications, making it a versatile tool for your creative arsenal. It can inject life into a lackluster sky, transforming it into a canvas of color excitement. For scenes that require a specific hue shift to achieve a particular special effect, this filter allows for precise color alterations. It's also adept at enhancing existing colors, adding a layer of subtle drama or correcting color balance in situations with uneven lighting conditions.

Crafted with the utmost precision, Tiffen Color-Grads are available in a spectrum of sizes and colors to suit your needs. The soft edge version of this filter features a gradual transition zone, ranging from 1/2" to 2" wide before reaching full density, allowing for a seamless blend into the scene. This subtlety is ideal for wide-angle lenses, where a hard edge might appear too abrupt, and for compositions with irregular shapes or lighting that demands a gentle gradation.

The horizontal orientation of this 4x5.65" filter is specifically designed for use when the gradation line needs to run parallel to the horizon, a common requirement for landscape and outdoor photographers. This ensures that the effect of the filter aligns perfectly with the natural lines of your composition, maintaining the integrity of your image.

Whether you're dealing with telephoto or wide-angle lenses, the Tiffen Coral 2 Soft Edge Graduated Filter is engineered to complement the focal length of your lens. For telephoto lenses, a hard edge is typically recommended, but with the soft edge design of this filter, you can achieve a more nuanced effect, perfect for wide-angle lenses that capture a broader scene.

In summary, the Tiffen 4x5.65" Coral 2 Soft Edge Graduated Filter is an essential tool for photographers looking to enhance their images with color, balance exposure, and create stunning visual effects. Its high-quality construction and thoughtful design ensure that it meets the rigorous demands of professional image-making.
