The Formatt 3 x 3" Graduated Skyfire 1 Filter is one of the most widely used category of filters. It enhances reality, adding a touch of subtlety or drama to the image.
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.
Used to enhance sunrises and sunsets; more intense than a sunset filter; more intense than a sunset filter.
Sometimes it is also desirable to add color to part of the photograph. For example, to add blue to only the sky. Formatt Color Graduated filters are half-color, half-clear, with a graduated transition for blending into the scene. They are available in an array of colors. Soft/hard indicates the degree of transition.
Note: Formatt Graduated Skyfire Filters comes in strengths from 1-3 with 3 having the greatest effect
Some of the Most Popular Applications Include
- Adding color excitement to a drab sky
- Changing the specific color in a scene to create a desired special effect
- Enhancing the existing color or creating subtle color drama
- Creating more balanced exposure in uneven lighting conditions
Formatt Grads are Available in Four Types
- Soft Edge - Half clear, half colored with a smooth transition to full density. Generally used with medium to wide angle lenses
- Hard Edge - Half clear, half colored with a definite less subtle transition. For use with long focal length lenses
- Razor Edge - As hard edge but with a solid transition line for shooting corners of buildings, knife-edge horizons or when a very bold transition is required
- Blender - The grad line is right at one edge of the filter so the color change runs from top to bottom. Perfect for irregular objects and skylines
