Description
The Tiffen 2 x 2″ 2 Tobacco Soft-Edge Graduated Filter helps to specifically add a warm, brownish-yellow coloration to skies and other bright areas of an image while allowing a portion of the image to remain neutrally colored. The filter’s coloring is densest at the edge and tapers to clear by the middle, with a soft-edged transition between the density and clear areas. The 2 color density provides less tobacco coloration than the 3 density, but more than the 1 density filter.
This filter is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass and grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. It measures 2 x 2″ / 50.8 x 50.8mm.
Features:
- Provides a warm brownish-yellow coloring to select areas of the image.
- Graduated filter design keeps a portion of the image neutral, resulting in a more realistic look while allowing for the sky or other bright areas to take on the color of the density.
Tiffen Color-Grads are supplied in a wide range of sizes and colors and are made in either soft, hard, or as a special order, attenuated gradients.
They enable the image-maker to create an illusion or enhance reality. Some of the most popular applications are:
- Adding color excitement to a drab sky
- Changing the specific color in a scene to create a desired special effect
- Enhancing the existing color or creating subtle color drama
- Creating more balanced exposure in uneven lighting situations
