When the sky is not as blue as one wishes, the setting sun not as radiant, or if one wishes to add a touch of personal color, the colored graduated filters are the right answer. They darken one part of the image (most often the upper part) by adding the appropriate tint, blue, tobacco, sunset...
Gradual Blue
Gradual Blue filters are available in 5 variations. They are very useful for enhancing a grey and lackluster sky by giving it a sunnier aspect, something that a polarizing filter cannot do under these circumstances. It is perfect for those who do not want a filter effect to be visible!

Gradual Tobacco

With Sunset filters, the sun sets right when you need it to and its intensity is assured! These filters allow you to intensify or simulate a realistic sunset. They excel for backlighting or silhouette effects. If, at dusk, there is little or no sunlight, this kind of filter is sure to give you a fantastic helping hand.
