Perfect for toning down excessively bright areas without altering the color balance. Use to tame sandy beaches, snow scenes and bright skies for better overall tonal rendition.

With a Hoya Gradual Color Filter you can add color (or neutral gray) to part of your picture without changing the remaining portion. The filter is half colored, half clear, with a smooth transition, no hard line, so the colored area softly tapers off. When shooting landscape photos, you can selectively tone down or add color to the background without changing the foreground, for better tonal control and greater visual interest. Or add color to a dull area for more excitement. Not a gimmick, but a valuable tool that will significantly improve photos. Mounted in revolving metal mount for easy adjustment.
