Heliopan 77mm Graduated Neutral Density (ND) 0.6 (4x) Filter
Often it is necessary or desirable to balance the light intensity in one part of a scene with another. This is especially true in situations where you don't have total light control, as in bright contrasty landscapes. Exposing for the foreground will produce a washed-out, over-exposed sky while exposing for the sky will leave the foreground dark and under-exposed. Grad ND filters are part clear, part neutral density (available in grades of .3 (1 stop), .6 (2 stops), .9 (3 stops)). They allow the transition to be blended into the scene, often imperceptibly. A GND .6-to-clear, with a two stop differential, will generally compensate the average bright sky-to-foreground situation and is also the most popular density of the series.
Graduated Neutral Density factors:
GND.3 (exposure factor = 2x; exposure adjustment = 1 stop; reduces ISO 1/2)
GND.6 (exposure factor = 4x; exposure adjustment = 2 stops; reduces ISO 1/4)
GND.9 (exposure factor = 8x; exposure adjustment = 3 stops; reduces ISO 1/8)

This filter is just what was missing, from my gear! It performs beautifully! Living in the Pacific Northwest, and having access to so much water (waterfalls, rivers, lakes, etc.) it goes everywhere my camera goes.

It did everything I needed it to when I photographed Lake Superior on vacation. It helped me to balance bright water or bright skies. Heliopan is a brand I trust.
