The main purpose of this filter is to balance the light intensity between different areas within a scene. It's particularly useful in outdoor photography, where it helps maintain exquisite sky detail while ensuring the foreground is properly exposed.
The 0.9 (3-stop) density of the filter refers to the amount of light the filter blocks. A 0.9 filter blocks 3 stops of light, allowing the photographer to use a wider aperture or faster shutter speed without overexposing the image.
A 'graduated' filter means the density of the filter varies across its surface. In this case, the filter is darkest at the edge and gradually decreases in density towards the center. This allows for a smooth transition between the filtered and unfiltered parts of the image.
This filter is best suited for landscape and architectural photography. It's also useful in any situation where there's a significant difference in brightness between the sky and the foreground of the scene.
