The B+W 501 ND Gradient Filter 50% puts a neutral-density effect across part of the frame, so you can reduce the sky’s brightness while keeping the foreground more open. It suits landscape photographers and anyone framing scenes with a strong difference in brightness between sky and land or buildings. The 50% designation describes the filter’s light reduction in its darker area: half the light passes through there, equivalent to one stop. That makes it useful when you want a measured reduction rather than a very heavy darkening. Its 52mm size is for lenses with a matching filter thread. It’s a straightforward way to manage a bright horizon at the point of capture, though a graduated filter can also darken trees or buildings that extend into the filtered area.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specialist-note\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecialist Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Will the B+W 501 help keep a bright sky from overpowering the land?” Yes, that’s exactly the job of this graduated ND filter. The 50% reduction gives you a one-stop difference across its darker area, which can help hold cloud detail while you expose the foreground normally. For a landscape, position that darker part over the sky and keep the horizon where the transition won’t cut awkwardly across a subject. It’s also worth considering for a city view with bright sky above darker streets. The 52mm size suits a lens with a 52mm filter thread; just remember that buildings reaching into the filtered area will be darkened too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: B+W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: 501 ND Gradient Filter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight reduction: 50%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilter size: 52mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeries: F-PRO\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"B+W","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57491954991444,"sku":"2000238062","price":31.3,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.htf-store.com\/pl\/products\/b-w-501-nd-gradient-filter-50-f-pro-52mm","provider":"Hard to Find Camera Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
