The Tiffen 4 x 5.65" Grade 3 Sunset Graduated filter is an exciting filter. It enhances reality by adding a touch of subtlety or drama to the image. When you cannot travel south-west 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 increase the effect and impact of the sky. Tiffen's 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 grade 3 having the most pronounced effect.

The Sunset Graduated 3 filter offers a multi-layered sunset effect with a red sky blending into orange then yellow, with the bottom of the filter remaining transparent. Spectacular sunset effects can be created even with the lightest version of this filter. Version 3 generates the maximum effect for this filter and should be used when an extreme look is desired for the image.
