Tiffen 6.6 x 6.6" Blue 5 Soft Edge Graduated Filter

Over the years, Tiffen Color-Grad filters have established themselves as a staple in the photography industry, renowned for their ability to transform and enhance images. These versatile filters empower photographers to create illusions, amplify reality, and add a touch of color magic to otherwise dull skies.

The 6.6 x 6.6" Blue 5 Soft Edge Graduated Filter is a prime example of Tiffen's commitment to quality and innovation. It's designed to alter specific colors within a scene, enabling photographers to achieve special effects that captivate and engage viewers. Moreover, it can enhance existing colors or subtly introduce color drama, adding depth and dimension to your images.

One of the standout features of this filter is its ability to balance exposure in uneven lighting situations. This ensures that every shot you take is perfectly lit, regardless of the lighting conditions.

The Tiffen Color-Grad filters come in a variety of sizes, colors, and edge types, including soft edge, hard edge, and attenuated gradients. The transition area in the soft edge filter ranges from 1/2" to 2" wide before reaching full density, while the hard edge filter has a transition area approximately 1/4" to 1/2" wide. The attenuated gradients transition throughout the entire filter, starting clear and reaching maximum density at the opposite end.

The choice between a hard or soft edge largely depends on your lens type and the subject matter. Telephoto lenses, which use a small portion of the filter, are best paired with a hard edge. Conversely, wide-angle lenses, which make objects appear smaller, are ideally suited to a soft edge filter. The soft edge and attenuated gradients are perfect for blending with irregular-shaped subjects or unusual lighting, ensuring a seamless and natural look.

In conclusion, the 6.6 x 6.6" Blue 5 Soft Edge Graduated Filter from Tiffen is a powerful tool for photographers looking to elevate their work and create visually stunning images.
