This 72mm Ice 72mm Graduated Neutral Density Filter Kit contains three filters that can each be used to improve the results of your photography. Included are a soft-edge graduated neutral density filter, a hard-edge graduated neutral density filter, and a reverse-graduated neutral density filter. A filter pouch is included to store and transport this filter kit. The included filters consist of 72mm filters that reduce the amount of light entering a lens by up to 3 stops. The soft-edge graduated neutral density filter and the hard-edge graduated neutral density filter each help to darken specific areas of an image, such as bright skies, while allowing for a normal, unaffected exposure in the other regions of the image. Those filters are densest at the edge and taper to clear by the middle, with either a soft-edged or hard-edged line of transition between the dense and clear areas. A neutral density filter with a soft-edged line of transition is useful for images that do not have a strongly defined transition between the sky and the foreground, while a neutral density filter with a hard-edged line of transition is useful for images that feature horizons or any hard transition between the sky and land. The reverse-graduated neutral density filter can be applied to darken bright skies, specifically during a sunrise or sunset, while also allowing for a normal, unaffected exposure in the other regions of the image. This filter achieves its effect with a 0.9 band of density above its center region that provides up to a 3-stop reduction in light from entering a lens. This band extends in both vertical directions and tapers to approximately a 0.3 density for a 1-stop reduction in light at the edge above it. Directly below the 0.9 band of density, it tapers to clear, with a hard-edged line of transition before the clear area. The placement of a 0.9 band of density with a clear area directly below allows the reverse-graduated neutral density filter to match the positioning of the sun when it is at, or immediately above, the horizon. A filter pouch is included to store and transport this filter kit.Ice 72mm Soft-Edge Graduated Neutral Density 0.9 Filter (3-Stop) Darkens bright areas of an image, such as skies, while leaving the remainder of the frame unaffectedProvides up to a 3-stop reduction in light in selective areasSoft-edged line of transition between the dense and clear areasUseful for images that do not have a strongly defined transition between the sky and the foregroundFilter does not affect the overall coloration of the imageConstructed from optical glass for clarityAluminum alloy filter ring assembly is durable while remaining lightweightRotating design allows for gradation positioning along the horizon line72mm front filter threads allow for use with other filtersIce 72mm Hard-Edge Graduated Neutral Density 0.9 Filter (3-Stop) Darkens bright areas of an image, such as skies, while leaving the remainder of the frame unaffectedProvides up to a 3-stop reduction in light in selective areasHard-edged line of transition between the dense and clear areasUseful for images that feature horizons, or any hard transition between the sky and landFilter does not affect the overall coloration of the imageConstructed from optical glass for clarityAluminum alloy filter ring assembly is durable while remaining lightweightRotating design allows for gradation positioning along the horizon line72mm front filter threads allow for use with other filtersIce 72mm Reverse-Graduated Neutral Density 0.9 Filter (3-Stop) Effectively darkens bright skies, specifically during a sunrise or sunset, while allowing for a normal, unaffected exposure in the other regions of the image3-stop band of density that tapers to approximately a 1-stop density at the edge above it, while directly above a clear areaCreates a neutral density pattern that matches the positioning of the sun when it is at, or immediately above, the horizonDensity pattern corresponds to the brig
