Cokin Nuances Extreme Center Graduated ND8 , Hard Edge, P Series NXPC (0.9)

The Nuances Extreme Center Grad ND4 allows for 2 stops light compensation on a linear area across the image plane for precise exposure adjustment. All Nuances Extreme filters are made from a new type of tempered optical glass that is 4 times stronger than the previous series. This means your new filters can travel with you into any extreme conditions and withstand those inevitable drops, nicks, and scratches that can happen to any photographer. A new coating process ensures uniform density. This process results in stunning neutrality and absolute color consistency throughout all types and densities in the series. So switching from one density or style to another will still yield the exact same color results, no adjustments necessary. These filters have an industry standard 2mm thick glass and rounded corners to make them easy to insert into a filter holder. If a light-tight seal is needed, Cokin recommends using the back slot of the EVO series filter holders. Center Graduated ND Filter The sun is just peeking up over the horizon. The sky is on fire and the earth is beginning to glow. And you are playing an exposure dance between all three elements in your image. Trying to maintain detail in that narrow band of bright light as the sun rises can be very challenging to any photographer when you need balance your exposure for the sky and earth too. A Center Graduated filter is just the tool to help manage that tricky exposure. By focusing the reduced exposure on the horizon where the sun is rising you can let the earth and sky do its light dance in its natural state while maintaining detail at the horizon where the sun is rising. This creates a manageable dynamic range in a single image so your post production time is spent enhancing instead of fixing.
