The 5 x 5" Graduated Sunset 1 Filter from Tiffen 5x5" Graduated Sunset 1 Filteris an exciting filter. It enhances reality, adding a touch of subtlety or drama to the image. When you can't get to the southwest for that awesome sunset, this filter will come in handy. Your friends will think you were on assignment for a travel magazine.

Sometimes it is also desirable to add color to part of the photograph. For example, to add an orange/yellow tint to bump up the effect and punch of the sky. Tiffen Color Graduated filters are half-color, half-clear, with a graduated transition for blending into the scene. Tiffen Graduated Sunset filters are available in grades from 1-3, with 3 having the greatest effect.

The Graduated Sunset 1 filter will provide a multi-layered sunset effect with a red sky blending down into orange and then yellow, with the bottom of the filter clear. Dramatic sunset effects can be created even using the lightest version of this filter.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does it fit to 100mm Filter Foundation Kit?

A: Yes, these filters can fit the Lee Foundation kit.

Q: 2. Whats the benefits of this over the non digital version for half the price? I notice the coating and titanium ring but my question is more about image/color quality.

A: This filter uses optical quality glass, is uncoated and uses an aluminum filter ring. The Digital HT version uses Water White (highest quality) glass, is multi-coated and uses a titanium coated ring. The mulit-coating makes the glass more scratch resistant, easier to clean and less chance of reflections. The HT filters meet or exceed military specifications as well. The difference in image color/quality will be tough to see when comparing the two, the difference is more in construction quality.

Q: 3. Does this filter have any tags or other properties that allow you to align the gradient axis precisely with the camera axis?

Q: 10. What is the difference between a "Graduated Blender Filter" and Graduated ND FIlter?

A: Blender Grads have a light density on bottom half of the filter with a gradual transition to the ND effect in the top half. They are primarily used for light reduction in skylines of landscape shots. Blender grads have a soft transition perfect for hiding any obvious transition that can be found in soft or hard edge grads. when it comes to ND with hard transitions think of tele lens when it comes to soft think wide angle lens.
