Neutral Density
Set
The Neutral Density Grad Set is suitable for
use
with both digital and film cameras, and features
three neutral density graduated filters of 0.3,
0.6 and 0.9 strengths (equating to a reduction
of one, two and three stops respectively).
The beauty of the ND grad is that it allows the
photographer to reduce exposure in one part
of the scene, while leaving the rest unaffected.
And because LEE Filters ND grads are truly
neutral, there will be no nasty colour casts
on the end result. Available in either soft or hard graduation. |

Sky Set
The purpose of the Sky Set is to enhance the
colours in the sky, and is particularly useful
when a sunrise or sunset hasn’t quite lived
up to expectations. The Sunset 2 enhances
warm tones, typical of the light at the end of
the day, the Sky Blue 3 introduces colour into
lifeless skies, while the Coral Stripe boosts a
selective area of the frame – usually directly
above the horizon. |

Autumn Tint Set
The Autumn Tint Set, as the name suggests, is
particularly suitable for enhancing the colours
in autumnal scenes, making the most of the
rich golds, reds and browns that typify the
season.
A unique feature of these filters is that they
can be used as both hard grads and
standards. Because the graduation line is
placed 90mm from the top of the filter, the
coated portion of the filter is sufficient to
cover the whole scene. Alternatively, by
raising the filter higher in its holder, it then
becomes a grad. |

Sunset Set
This popular set adds warmth and definition to
both sky and landscape, enhancing the natural
colours created by sunsets. The extra-deep
coating of the Sunset Yellow filter allows it to
be used both as a standard and a grad. |
|
|
 |
Twilight Set
Not to be confused with the Coral Stripe, this
pale version permits a subtler approach to the
enhancement of the horizon. When used in
conjunction with the Mahogany 3, which gives
the impression of a ‘red sky at night’, the
effects can be striking. The Twilight filter
replicates the deep blue that arises when day
crosses into night. |
|
|
 |
Sunrise Set
The light at dawn tends to be rather paler
and more subtle than at sunset, and this set
reflects this. The strong yellow of the Straw 2
acts as a warm-up, while the Mahogany 1 is
suitable for creating a paler effect. The Straw
Stripe introduces warmth into the horizon. |
|
|
 |
Landscape Set
This set is designed to complement the
landscape – be it urban or rural. The Real
Blue 2 brings intensity to faded skies, while
an inverted Straw 3 warms the foreground.
Suitable for more classic landscapes, the
Sepia 2 enhances the colour of rocks, foliage
and fallen leaves. |
|
|
 |
Sky Blue Set
Lifeless skies in both land and seascapes can
be enhanced with the subtle use of this set,
with each filter increasing slightly in intensity. |
|
|
 |
Coral Set
The Coral set – which ranges in strength
from pale to mid tone – has a variety of uses.
When placed across the sky, a warm, soft
orange hue is introduced; when inverted it
brings tone to greenery in the foreground.
The higher the number in the Coral grad
series, the further the colour temperature is
corrected. |
|
|
 |
Mist Set
The filters in this set are designed to imitate the
effects of fog and mist, and are suitable for use
either alone or in combination with one
another – depending on the desired density.
The Stripe, when used in the foreground, gives
a sense of the depth of fog, while the Clear
Spot takes the viewer’s eye straight to the most
important part of the frame – wherever the
photographer decides that may be. |
|
|
 |
Selective Star Set
With careful positioning of these filters, a star
pattern is introduced into the highlight areas of
the photograph. The Star Spot features a
circular cluster of markings, while the Star
Segment creates stars in a chosen segment of
the frame. Finally, the Star Graduate features
highlights in one portion of the filter, which
gradually fade to clear. |

 |
Net Set
Based on the type of net filter which is
commonly used in cinematography, this set
creates a subtle soft focus effect. Addtionally,
the black net filters increase contrast, while the
white net filters decrease it. The filters can be
moved up and down within the holder to
control where the clear spot appears in the
photograph. When using the Black Net 1,
exposure should be increased by half a stop.
When using the Black Net 2, exposure should
be increased by one stop. |
