Lee Filters ND6GH100x150U2 Neutral Density Graduated Hard Edge Filter (0.6, 2 Stops, 100x150mm)

Bright skies often overpower foreground details in landscape photography, leaving images with blown-out highlights or underexposed terrain. The Lee Filters ND6GH100x150U2 neutral density graduated filter solves this by holding back light in the upper portion of the frame while keeping the lower area clear. This hard-edge grad transitions abruptly at the horizon, making it ideal for scenes with a defined line between bright and dark areas, such as seascapes or flat horizons.

Who is it for

Landscape and architectural photographers who shoot in high-contrast conditions will appreciate this filter. It suits those using the Lee 100mm filter holder system and who need precise exposure control without color shifts. Whether you are capturing a sunset over the ocean or a bright sky above a city skyline, this filter helps balance the exposure in a single frame.

Tips

Position the transition line along the horizon for a natural look. For scenes with uneven horizons, consider a soft-edge version. Always handle the resin filter by its edges to avoid fingerprints, and clean with a soft cloth and mild solution. Pair with a polarizer for enhanced skies and reduced reflections.
