About Tiffen Square GND Horizontal
When capturing the perfect shot, the Tiffen 4x5.65" Graduated Neutral Density (ND) ND 1.5 Filter is an essential tool for every photographer. This high-quality filter allows you to adjust your exposure without compromising the color balance, providing you with the flexibility to create stunning images in a variety of lighting conditions.
Designed for use in challenging lighting scenarios, this durable filter is particularly effective in balancing light intensity across your scene. This is crucial in high-contrast landscapes where controlling light isn't always possible. With this versatile filter, you can expose for the foreground without worrying about an over-exposed sky, or vice versa. It ensures that cloud details remain correctly exposed, adding depth and detail to your images.
The graduated neutral density filter offers varying densities from the center to the edges, providing a smooth and natural transition between the darkened and unaltered areas of your image. It's available in 1, 2, 3, or 4 stops, catering to individual shooting requirements and offering a range of options to achieve the desired effect.
The 'Hard' label refers to the degree of color graduation, while the 'Horizontal' label indicates the direction of the graduation. This easy-to-use filter is crafted from Tiffen's ColorCore glass, a material produced through a meticulous process that permanently laminates the filter material between two pieces of optical glass. These are then ground flat to tolerances of a ten-thousandth of an inch and mounted in precision aluminum rings, ensuring a reliable and effective filter for your photography needs.
Incorporating the Tiffen 4x5.65" Graduated Neutral Density (ND) ND 1.5 Filter into your photography equipment arsenal allows you to manipulate light in your favor, enhancing your images and expanding your creative possibilities.
