Tiffen Soft Edge Graduated ND Filter Set 4×5.65″ Horizontal Orientation (0.3, 0.6, 0.9)

Graduated ND filters are an invaluable tool for outdoor cinematography, allowing you to retain detail in bright skies while correctly exposing the landscape, buildings or subjects below. Rather than reducing the exposure across the whole image, they darken only part of the frame, helping achieve a more balanced exposure straight out of the camera and without 'burning out' the sky or brighter areas.

This set includes 0.3 (1 stop), 0.6 (2 stops) and 0.9 (3 stops) filters, providing flexibility for a wide range of lighting conditions.
