The Tiffen Essential Image Creation Kit contains everything you need to capture stunning outdoor shots. Whether you prefer landscapes or portraits, this kit can give you an edge.,,Ultra Circular Polarising Filter,If a traditional polariser doesn't give you enough "punch", Tiffen's "Ultra" polariser gives you a little more. Ultra polarisers accentuate your blue skies a little more, just enough to make that crucial difference. Tiffen's Ultra Pol linear and circular filters offer the best polarising effects available for professional film and television work. They eliminate unwanted reflections from the scene to the maximum and render crisp white clouds against a spectacular deep blue sky, like never before.,,0.9 Neutral Density Filter,Neutral density filters have several uses and offer the possibility of achieving otherwise impossible results. They allow the photographer to adjust exposure without affecting colour balance. ND filters appear grey and reduce the amount of light reaching the film.,,Determining which neutral density filter gives ideal results for a given lighting situation requires knowledge, experience and a collection of such filters. Generally, the value of 2 stops (ND 0.6) effectively compensates for average situations.,,1/4 Pro Mist Filter,This is a soft focus filter. The Pro-Mist filter is exceptional for creating a particular atmosphere. Outdoors or indoors, in vast landscapes or portraits, the Pro-Mist is excellent for softening excessive sharpness and reducing contrast by moderately lightening shadow areas without detracting from the overall image. This is particularly useful given the extreme contrast and sharpness produced by contemporary cinema and video lenses.,,Pro-Mist filters give your portraits that extra touch of professionalism. It is available in different grades that allow you to soften contrast to the degree you deem necessary for your subject.,,,Ultra Circular Polarising Filter,,,- Ultra polarisers polarise light "a little more" than ordinary polarisers,,,Four main uses of neutral density filters,,,- To allow the use of slow shutter speeds, particularly with high-speed films, to record motion of subjects such as waterfalls, clouds or cars,- To decrease depth of field by allowing the use of wider apertures, which helps separate subjects from their backgrounds,- To decrease the effective ISO of high-speed films (above 400 ISO) and allow their use outdoors in bright situations,- To allow film and video cameras (which have fixed shutter speeds) to film subjects such as snow, sand or other bright scenes that could cause overexposure,,,Neutral Density Factors,,,- ND.3 (exposure adjustment = 1 stop, reduces ISO by 1/2),- ND.6 (exposure adjustment = 2 stops, reduces ISO by 1/4),- ND.9 (exposure adjustment = 3 stops, reduces ISO by 1/8),,,Pro Mist Filter,,,- Creates a particular atmosphere by softening excessive sharpness and contrast,- Generates a pearly halo around highlights,- Lighter grades are useful for reducing excessive sharpness and contrast of contemporary film and lens combinations,,,ColorCore Technology,,,- Tiffen filters are manufactured using ColorCore technology, a closely guarded proprietary process that involves permanently laminating the filter material between two pieces of optical glass that are polished to tolerances of one ten-thousandth of an inch, then mounted in precision metal rings,- The ColorCore process allows Tiffen to control the colour and density of its filters, as well as the characteristics of special effects filters with precision far superior to typical mass-tinted filters, which generally exhibit colour and density variations,,,Superior Quality,,,- Hollywood's major film studios rely on Tiffen filters for their multi-million-pound productions. Superior quality and design make Tiffen the uncontested choice of filmmakers, professional photographers and even NASA,- Tiffen has also received an Emmy from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences for its engineering excellence,,,Specifications,,,
