The Tiffen 4 x 5.65" Sunset Graduated Density 2 filter is a fascinating filter. It enhances reality, adding a touch of subtlety or drama to the image. When you can't travel to the south-west for that magnificent sunset, this filter will prove very useful. Your friends will think you were on assignment for a travel magazine.

It is sometimes desirable to add colour to part of the photograph. For example, to add an orange/yellow tint to accentuate the effect and impact of the sky. Tiffen coloured graduated filters are half-coloured, half-transparent, with a gradual transition to blend into the scene. Tiffen sunset graduated filters are available in densities 1 to 3, with density 3 having the most pronounced effect.

The Sunset 2 graduated filter offers a multi-layered sunset effect with a red sky blending into orange then yellow, with the bottom of the filter remaining transparent. Version 2 increases contrast and brings more intensity to the image.
