Tiffen 6.6 x 6.6" 1/2 Coral Soft-Edge Graduated Filter

Experience the transformative power of Tiffen Color-Grad filters, a leading choice among photography professionals worldwide. These innovative filters empower photographers to manipulate visual narratives, either by crafting captivating illusions or by enhancing the authenticity of a scene.

The 6.6 x 6.6" 1/2 Coral Soft-Edge Graduated Filter is a versatile tool with a multitude of applications. It can inject vibrant color into a lackluster sky, alter a scene's specific color to generate a unique special effect, or amplify existing color to create subtle yet impactful color drama. Moreover, it's an effective solution for achieving a more balanced exposure in situations with uneven lighting.

Tiffen Color-Grads are available in an extensive array of sizes and colors, catering to diverse photographic needs. They are meticulously crafted in either soft edge or hard edge variations. The transition area in a soft edge filter ranges from 1/2" to 2" wide before reaching full density, depending on the filter size. Conversely, the transition area in a hard edge filter is approximately 1/4" to 1/2" wide before reaching full density. Attenuated gradients, which gradually transition from clear to maximum density across the entire filter, are also available as a special order.

The choice between a "hard" edge or "soft" edge Tiffen Color-Grad largely depends on your subject matter, its surroundings, and the type of lens you're using. Telephoto lenses, which utilize a small portion of the filter, are best paired with a hard edge filter. This is because a soft edge might become indistinguishable in the image. On the other hand, wide-angle lenses, which render objects smaller, are ideally matched with a soft edge filter. This is to prevent a hard edge gradient from appearing as a harsh straight line. Soft edges and attenuators are perfect for subtle blending with irregular-shaped subjects or unusual lighting scenarios.

In essence, the 6.6 x 6.6" 1/2 Coral Soft-Edge Graduated Filter is a dynamic tool that can elevate your photography to new artistic heights.
