The H\u0026amp;Y K-Series Soft GND Filter ND1.2 is designed to darken one part of the frame while leaving the other part less affected. Its soft graduation makes it suited to scenes where the change in brightness across the frame is gradual, such as an open landscape with a bright sky above darker ground. It’s for photographers who want to manage that difference while making the exposure, rather than relying on a later edit to bring the scene into balance. The magnetic frame is part of the filter’s design and lets you work with it as a framed filter. Keep the graduated area aligned with the bright part of the composition; the transition is easiest to use when it follows a relatively clear horizon or other gradual boundary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specialist-note\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a landscape with a bright sky and darker land, I’d start with the ND1.2 section over the sky and place the soft transition along the horizon. That’s the job this filter is made to help with: reducing the sky’s brightness without applying the same darkening across the whole frame. The soft graduation is useful when the boundary in your scene isn’t a perfectly crisp line, as with a low, open horizon. I’d consider it for coastal views or broad fields, where you can align the transition cleanly. One limitation: trees or buildings crossing the skyline can also fall under the graduated area, so it suits simpler horizons better.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: Soft graduated neutral density filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDensity: ND1.2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame: Magnetic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries: K-Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"H\u0026Y","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57492029571412,"sku":"HY-KS12","price":132.71,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/2493\/3716\/files\/HY-KS12_01.jpg?v=1791544328","url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/nl\/products\/h-y-k-series-soft-gnd-filter-w-magnetic-frame-nd1-2","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
