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. Fabricated from high-quality CR-39 acrylic, B&W graduated neutral density filters are gray toned in one half of the filter and are smoothly graduated into the clear portion. B&W Graduated Neutral Density filters are available in 2 grades; #501 (approx. 1 stop density at the top) and #502 (approx. 2 stops density at the top).

      Great to be able to darken the sky ... which can easily "blow out" in digital photography

            This saves me much post processing work! Many times when I'm photographing a landscape, my skies need to be metered differently than the foreground. Thankfully this saves me a few steps in the post processing. Much easier and much better image output. It's always nice to get it spot on straight out of the camera.
