Tiffen Graduated (Grad) ND's

Graduated Neutral Density (Grad) filters, also known as "grads", are a tool that can help balance the contrast between a bright sky and the darker ground below. They are particularly useful for capturing scenes with a wide dynamic range, such as sunrises and sunsets.

Here are some benefits of using Grad filters:

• Natural colour representation Grad filters produce a more natural colour representation than HDR techniques, which can result in a "candy rainbow" effect.

• Single exposure Grad filters allow you to create a great image with a single exposure, which is less work in post processing.

• Authenticity Creating a great image with a single exposure is more authentic and satisfying than using HDR techniques.

In Ring Filters we use a Soft Edge ND transition, or Attenuator(Blender), which is a more natural Full cover graduation.

With Motion Picture Filters, you can chose between Soft of Hard Edge, or Attenuator(Blender), which is a more natural Full cover graduation - better suited for camera movement where the horizon exposure can vary.
