The Tiffen 4 x 5.65" Sunset Graduated filter is a fascinating filter. It enhances reality by adding a touch of subtlety or drama to the image. When you can't travel to the southwest for that magnificent sunset, this filter will be 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 colour graduated filters are half coloured, half transparent, with a gradual transition to blend into the scene. Tiffen sunset graduated filters are available in grades 1 to 3, with 3 having the most pronounced effect.

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