Lee 4x6" Graduated Neutral Density Resin Filter Set - 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.
This kit consists of Lee Grad ND filters in grades of 0.3 (1 stop), 0.6 (2 stops), 0.9 (3 stops). They allow the transition to be blended into the scene, often imperceptibly. A neutral density 0.6-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.
Lee graduated neutral density filters are available with soft or hard transitions from dark to clear. The soft edge is recommended for wide angle lenses and the hard edge is recommended for normal and longer lenses.
Lee graduated resin filters are 4 x 6" (100 x 150mm) x 2mm thick. The 6" length allows for adjustment of the filter within the holder.
Note! Soft Edge represents a gradual transition from one end of the filter to the other while Hard Edge contains a firm "line of demarcation"

Comments about LEE Filters 4x6" Graduated ND Resin Filter Set (0.3, 0.6, 0.9):
Being an action photographer and starting out learning landscape, it baffled me how the bright light on top of a landscape gets in sync with the bottom of the darker bottom of the picture. After reading up on it, I realized using these type of filters was the way to accomplish it. I went with hard edge and love these things. I get to concentrate on my image bottom half and these do the magic up top, so that I have minimal post processing in lightroom. I hand hold them for now and have put some scratches on them, but they do not show on the photo. Waiting on the foundation kit to hold these bad boys, from the UK. I feel lucky to have seen these available a couple of weeks ago on B&H because they are always sold out.

If your not using these, your not metering your light properly. This kit is brilliant for balancing light between sky and land/sea.

The thing that impressed me most was the excellent quality of the product. My first Lee filter set, moving away from another brand[...] was exceptional. I will most definitely invest in more Lee filters.

Took me less than a minute to set it up, it is better than spending time in post-production. With the 3 GND filters, you can combine them to get 6 stops in extreme bright situation.

Well, if you want to balance a bright sky against a less bright lower portion of your photo a grad filter is of big help. I won't say that you can't do the same with software; but depending upon the photo it could be very time consuming and require a high level of skill. If you can get the effect you want while taking the photo, I believe this is the preferable way to go, generally speaking.

I use these filters with a 5DII and 16-35mm II lens. I am getting some great shots with them. I initially was concerned that the hard edge would be problematic, and thought I should have got the soft lens, but it is working out just fine.

I am using the product for darking the sky and reducing glare on water in Landscape photographs. I like the ease of use and the way the kit came with each filter in a fleece lined pouch. All three filters are in a folding set of pouches for easy storage and carrying in the field.

I use my camera more than the average person. Most of my work is landscape and these filters are a must. They are large (4x6) which makes them easy to use and can be used without a holder with some practice. The Neutral Density filter will greatly improve your landscape photos.

Comments about LEE Filters 4x6" Graduated ND Resin Filter Set (0.3, 0.6, 0.9):
Balance in a photograph is extremely important to some photographers, and for those, the grad filters are invaluable. All too often a portion of the image is 1 or 2 stops different than the other. These filters correct that issue.

I needed a neutral density filter to try and capture some decent sunsets. This is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted something I could hold and adjust as I needed. This fits the bill perfectly!!
I have done a number of sunsets and it does just what it's supposed to do. You can combine the filters if you want to depending on how strong the sunlight is.
It works great!!!

Comments about LEE Filters 4x6" Graduated ND Resin Filter Set (0.3, 0.6, 0.9):
To enhance the look of the landscape photo, these filters help to meter the brighter area of the shot, ie to darken a sky while bringing out the land or water portion of the photo. They are very easy to use and by having three different F-stops to work with you can get very creative. I did not get a holder for these, instead I simply tape them to the front of the lens to avoid any light getting in between the filter an lens. Works great as long as the filters are larger than the lens you are using.
