Tiffen 4x5.65" Graduated Soft Edge Sunset 1 Filter - Horizontal Orientation

Explore the world of photography with the 4x5.65" Graduated Soft Edge Sunset 1 Filter in a horizontal orientation, a product from the renowned Tiffen Color-Grad filter collection. These filters are celebrated across the industry for their ability to transform images, either by creating captivating illusions or enhancing the reality captured by your lens.

The Tiffen Color-Grad filters are versatile, offering a multitude of applications. They can inject vibrancy into a dull sky, alter a specific color in a scene for a unique special effect, or amplify existing colors for a more dramatic impact. Moreover, they are instrumental in achieving a balanced exposure in situations with uneven lighting.

The 4x5.65" Graduated Soft Edge Sunset 1 Filter is available in an array of sizes and colors. It features a soft edge, with a transition area that varies between 1/2" to 2" wide before reaching full density, depending on the size of the filter.

When using rectangular-shaped filters like this one, the terms 'vertical' and 'horizontal' are crucial. They refer to the filter's position in relation to the camera when the grad line is horizontal.

The choice between a 'hard' edge or 'soft' edge filter depends on your subject matter, its surroundings, and the type of lens you use. Telephoto lenses utilize a small portion of the filter, making a hard edge more suitable for long lenses as a soft edge might get lost in the image. Conversely, wide-angle lenses make objects appear smaller, so a soft edge is recommended for short focal lengths to avoid the appearance of a hard straight line.

The soft edges and attenuators of the 4x5.65" Graduated Soft Edge Sunset 1 Filter are designed for subtle blending with irregular-shaped subjects or unusual lighting conditions, offering you the flexibility to create stunning, professional-quality images.
