Product Description

Size: 77mm

Amazon.com Product Description

The perfect solution to transform a pallid sunrise or sunset into something spectacular. A neutral density 0.6-to-clear is often best for balancing sky to foreground.

Product Description

If you ve ever wished you had a blue sky when there wasn t one, or late afternoon light in early morning, there s something you can do to get it. Color-Grad filters enable you to add color to a selected part of the scene. These filters are part clear, part color, with a graduated density transition for a smooth blending of color. Tiffen Color-Grad filters can add color excitement to a sky, change a specific color in a scene to create the desired special effect, enhance the existing color or create subtle color drama, and even help balance exposure in uneven lighting situations.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good filter for digital, October 13, 2008

By 

Chronos (San Diego, Ca.) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tiffen 58mm Color Graduated Neutral Density 0.6 Filter (Electronics)

This filter is used to balance the brighter areas of your picture to the darker ones, e.g. lighter sky with a darker landscape. It works well with digital because although you can't place the line of density anywhere (it's fixed in the middle but can be rotated), you can later crop in you're editing to get the desired composition. Filter is glass and better than Cokin which is plastic and scratches easily. Cokin filter holder has the advantage of complete adjustability because you slide the filter in and out as well as rotate it. By the way .6 ND is equal to one stop of light, something Tiffen doesn't explain in their marketing materials. They also have half stop, two stop and three stop grad NDs. There are high quality glass filters made for the Cokin system, but they cost 2x or more than the Tiffen.

This review is from: Tiffen 58mm Color Graduated Neutral Density 0.6 Filter (Electronics)

The Tiffen filter is quality made. And is really nice for doing beach shots where the sky or the water sometimes gets overexposed or blown out when trying to get the perfect mix of sky and water detail.

Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pros and Cons for Neutral Density, October 5, 2007

By 

Don "RefinedTouch.com Photography" (Florida USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tiffen 77mm Color Graduated Neutral Density 0.6 Filter (Electronics)

The ND filter by Tiffen gets some light use (20%) on our outdoor shots. This allows us to darken the skies a bit if the sun is too bright. The graduated filter allows you to select which areas of your frame you want to darken because you can rotate it.

PROS
----
1. Good vibrant shadows.
2. Saves time from PhotoShop.

CONS
----
1. None yet.

Thanks,
