Tiffen 4 x 4" Soft Edge Graduated ND 1.2 Filter

The Tiffen 4 x 4" Graduated Neutral Density (ND) ND 1.2 Glass Filter allows photographers to adjust exposure without altering color balance. Neutral density filters are offered in 1, 2, 3, and 4 stops to suit specific needs. It is often essential or desirable to balance the light intensity in one area of a scene with another. This is especially true in situations when you don't have complete light control, such as in bright, contrasty landscapes. Exposing for the foreground results in a washed-out, overexposed sky, whereas exposing for the sky results in a dark, underexposed foreground. This filter ensures that cloud detail is correctly exposed in the image.
