Needless to say, the choice is determined by considering the characteristics of the two color filters. For some commonly used filters, or the color filters that protect the front of the lens, the spin-on type is very convenient and quick. However, for the use of filters in the general sense, the use of cartridge-mounted color filters is much broader and more flexible.
↑Although spin-on filters came out earlier, they are more usable than
There is no cartridge type filter. If you often need two or more filters
For mirror stacking, the cartridge type is more convenient and cost-effective.
P series plug-in squareUse the same set of color filtersP series filterandSocketCan be used for all lenses, just invest in the corresponding thread diameterAdaptorThat is, it is suitable for users with multiple lenses. In addition, two or more color filters can be used simultaneously without worrying about corner halo. Therefore, several filters with different performances and effects can be combined to obtain various effects.
A gradient filter is a color filter that transitions from dark to light to another color or to colorless and transparent. Half of this filter is colored,Semi-transparent,The color density gradually decreases near the junction of the two sides.Used to enhance the tone of the subject,Emphasize the blue sky and suppress exposure to excessively bright parts.No need to change the exposure coefficient.
The gradient lens can change the color or tone of any part of the photo. The most important thing is to reduce the contrast between the sky and the ground, adding a little drama to the pale sky. The transition of the color in the middle of the gradient lens is gradually gradual, so it will not leave a clear dividing line on the photo.
When shooting, narrow the aperture slightly to make the transition look more natural. Gradient gray cannot change the color balance of the picture, but it can change the contrast of the photo. When shooting landscape photos with sky, often the sky and the groundEVThe value differs by several stops. Either the sky is overexposed, or the ground has no details underexposed.
Gradient gray mirror can effectively solve this kind of problem. It can block the gray part in the sky, reduce the brightness of the sky, and balance the exposure difference between the sky and the ground. At the same time, it can darken the sky and highlight the clouds. Color filters such as gradient blue or gradient orange can add some dramatic colors to the pale sky or change the mood of the photo.
The plug-in design gradient lens can be fixed in front of the lens with a bracket, and the bracket can be used with multiple filters at the same time
Gray gradient mirror effect
When shooting outdoors, the light difference between the sky and the ground is often quite large.

If the sky is accurately exposed, the ground will be underexposed and become a rusty black; if the ground is exposed accurately, the sky will be overexposed and become dead white. Especially when it is cloudy, sunrise or sunset, this light difference problem becomes more serious.
The plug-in design gradient lens can be fixed in front of the lens with a bracket, and the bracket can be used with multiple filters at the same time
No gradient lens installed, underexposed ground
In this environment, changing the sensitivity, adjusting the exposure compensation, or even installing a PL polarizer will not help. At this time, as long as the gradient dimming filter is added and the dimming side is up, the luminosity of the sky will be reduced, while the luminosity of the ground will not be affected. The light difference between the sky and the ground can be reduced, so that the sky and the ground in the photo The levels can be fully reproduced.
After installing the gradient filter, the exposure of the ground and sky returned to normal
Since all current digital cameras are designed with TTL metering, even with a gradient dimming filter, no special exposure compensation is required. In addition to adding a gradient dimming filter when shooting cloudy, sunrise and sunset, etc., adding this filter when shooting on a sunny day can also make the color saturation of the sky higher and make the sky appear deeper blue , It looks even more refreshing.
No filter installed
After installing the gradient filter, the sky becomes darker blue
Color gradient mirror effect
In addition to the gradient dimming filter, you can also add other colored gradient filters when shooting landscapes to change the color of the sky and enhance the atmosphere of the photo. Gradient blue is another more commonly used gradient filter. On days when the sky is strong and the sky is not good, the gray sky is really a big scene. At this time, you can add a gradient blue filter to restore the sky to blue and enhance the effect of the blue sky and white clouds without affecting the tone of the ground. If you are shooting sunrise and sunset, gradient orange is a very useful filter, which can make the monotone effect at sunset more intense.
No filter installed
After installing the blue gradient mirror, the sky becomes bluer
No filter installed
After installing the orange gradient mirror, the atmosphere of the sunset is stronger
In addition, many photographers will add brown gradient lenses when shooting cloudy and cloudy subjects to express the effect of nostalgia and Moody. You can even use two color gradient filters at the same time to show different colors in the upper and lower halves of the photo, making the picture more prominent.
