Tiffen 5.65 x 5.65" Graduated Sunset 1 Filter - Soft Edge

When it comes to capturing breathtaking images, the Tiffen 5.65 x 5.65" Graduated Sunset 1 Filter with a Soft Edge is an indispensable tool for photographers and videographers alike. As part of the highly acclaimed Tiffen Color-Grad filter collection, this filter is widely recognized in the industry for its ability to enhance visual storytelling by creating illusions or augmenting reality.

The Tiffen Graduated Sunset 1 Filter is expertly designed to add a splash of color to a dull sky, alter specific colors in a scene for special effects, enhance existing colors, or create subtle color drama. It's also adept at creating a more balanced exposure in uneven lighting situations, making it a versatile addition to any camera bag.

This filter comes in a variety of sizes and colors, catering to a wide range of photographic needs. The soft edge version of this filter, depending on its size, features a transition area between 1/2" to 2" wide before reaching full density, making it ideal for wide-angle lenses. This is because wide-angle lenses tend to make objects appear smaller, and a soft edge gradient blends subtly with irregular-shaped subjects or unusual lighting, preventing the appearance of a hard straight line.

The Tiffen 5.65 x 5.65" Graduated Sunset 1 Filter - Soft Edge is also available in a hard edge version or as a special order, attenuated gradients. The transition area in these versions takes place throughout the whole filter, starting clear and reaching its maximum density at the opposite end.

In the realm of rectangular-shaped filters, such as the 4x5.650 (Panavision size), the terms vertical and horizontal are crucial. These terms refer to the filter's position in relation to the camera when the grad line is horizontal.

Whether you're using a telephoto lens or a wide-angle lens, the Tiffen 5.65 x 5.65" Graduated Sunset 1 Filter - Soft Edge has the versatility and precision to help you capture your vision.
