The Tiffen 6.6 x 6.6" 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 beautiful 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 grade 3 having the most pronounced effect.

The sunset graduated filter 3 offers a multi-layer sunset effect with a red sky blending into orange then yellow, with the bottom of the filter being 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.
