Benro Master Glass Filter 100x150mm Soft-Edged GND32 (1.5)

Benro Master Glass Filter 100x150mm Soft-Edged GND32 (1.5) | Balance bright skies and darker foregrounds

Benro Master Glass Filter 100x150mm Soft-Edged GND32 (1.5) is a rectangular graduated neutral density filter, sized 100x150mm, for photographers who need to manage a bright sky and a darker landscape in one frame. Its soft-edged transition makes it suited to scenes where the boundary between light and shade isn’t a perfectly straight line, such as a distant ridge or a broken coastline. Place the darker part over the brighter area, then position the graduation across the horizon so the change blends into the scene. The GND32 (1.5) marking identifies the filter’s density grade. This filter is most useful when the difference in brightness across a landscape is too pronounced to capture as you want in a single exposure. It gives you a way to balance that contrast while keeping the foreground visible, rather than letting the sky dictate the whole exposure.

Using the graduated filter

Start with the filter’s graduation aligned to the scene’s horizon, then adjust its position to suit the shape of the boundary. For a flat sea horizon, a more level placement can work; with hills or an uneven shoreline, the soft transition helps avoid an abrupt dividing line. The rectangular format lets you reposition the graduation within the frame as you compose. It’s a considered tool for landscape work, rather than a filter intended to darken the whole image evenly.
