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

Where creativity meets technology, the Tiffen 4x5.65" Tobacco 1 Soft-Edge Graduated Filter stands as a testament to the power of image enhancement. As a key player in the industry's most widely utilized category of filters, Tiffen Color-Grad filters offer photographers and videographers the ability to either craft an illusion or amplify reality.

This particular filter, with its horizontal orientation, is expertly designed for adding a touch of color excitement to a dull sky, altering specific colors in a scene for a unique special effect, or subtly enhancing existing colors for dramatic effect. It's also an invaluable tool for creating a more balanced exposure in situations where lighting conditions are uneven.

The Tiffen Color-Grad filters come in a variety of sizes, colors, and edge types. This specific model features a soft edge, where the transition area spans between 1/2" to 2" wide before reaching its full density, depending on the size of the filter. This makes it ideal for wide-angle lenses, as the soft edge gradient blends seamlessly with irregular-shaped subjects or unusual lighting, preventing the appearance of a hard straight line.

The horizontal or vertical designation of these rectangular-shaped filters, such as the 4x5.650 (Panavision size), refers to the filter's position in relation to the camera when the grad line is horizontal. This is a crucial detail that can significantly impact the final image.

Whether you're a professional photographer or an enthusiastic hobbyist, the Tiffen 4x5.65" Tobacco 1 Soft-Edge Graduated Filter is a versatile tool that can help you take your images to the next level.
