This Formatt Hitech filter is made for that kind of contrast. Its graduated neutral-density effect reduces light in part of the frame, helping bring a bright area closer to the exposure of the rest of the scene. It suits landscape photographers and anyone framing a scene with a clear difference in brightness across the image, such as a sunlit sky above a darker view. The benefit is most direct when that difference follows a fairly clear boundary, so the graduation can sit over the bright area without unnecessarily darkening the subject below. It’s a simple way to manage contrast at capture rather than relying entirely on adjustments later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specialist-note\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Will this 77mm graduated filter help with a bright sky over a darker landscape?” Yes—that’s exactly the contrast its graduated ND is designed to address. The 0.6 density gives a two-stop reduction in the covered part of the image, so you can expose the scene longer while holding back the sky. As a guide, two stops is the difference between 1\/500s and 1\/125s. I’d use it for a landscape with a reasonably clear horizon, placing the darker part over the sky; it’s less suited to a scene where tall, bright subjects cross that boundary. If your lens takes a 77mm filter, this is a focused option for that specific exposure problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: Formatt Hitech\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter size: 77mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter type: Graduated ND filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDensity: 0.6 (2 stops)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Formatt Hitech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57563707998548,"sku":"FH-FC77GND.6G","price":90.43,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/de\/products\/formatt-hitech-fc-nd-77mm-graduated-nd-0-6-2stops-filter","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
