Lee Filters Filter sets

Resin Filter Sets

Neutral Density Set The Neutral Density Set can be used with both digital and film cameras. The set contains graduated resin filters that enable the photographer to adjust exposure over part of the photograph without effecting colour balance. Exposure can be controlled by 1, 2 or 3 stops. For example, when photographing a landscape in which the sky is much brighter than the foreground, placing the Neutral Density part of the filter onto the sky in the frame will reduce the sky exposure without effecting the foreground. This enable cloud detail to be kept correctly exposed and avoids the “white out” effect caused by exposing for the foreground.

Sky Set This set contains Sunset 2, Coral Stripe and Sky Blue 3 graduated filters, which may be used individually or in combinations to enhance sky tones in landscapes, seascapes, and general outdoor photography. The Coral Stripe is ideal for creating a warm glow on the horizon, and can be placed strategically in the frame, creating an effect across a particular object or section of the image. The sunset filter can be used to create or enhance morning and evening skies.

Autumn Tint Set This set which consists of Tobacco 2, Coral 6 and Chocolate 2 filters, can be used to create atmospheric autumnal effects. These filters have been designed both as hard graduates and standard filters, a feature that has been achieved by manufacturing the filter with the graduation line 90 mm from the top of the filter. This gives ample room for the photographer to place the coloured portion of the filter either over the whole lens, as a standard, or only half-way over the lens, as a grad.

Sunset Set The popular three-colour sunset filter is now available as a set of three separate filters - Sunset red Grad, Sunset Orange Grad and Sunset Yellow Grad. This offers the photographer the flexibility and control they need to achieve the result they want, adding warmth and definition to both sky and landscape.

Twilight Set For a more subtle effect the twilight set contains a paler, thinner version of Lee Filter's Coral Stripe filter. It is teamed with a Mahogany 3 Grad, which gives an ideal red sky at night effect, and a dark blue twilight filter for capturing the moment when day finally turns to night.

Sunrise Set A set of three bright, warm colours for dawn or sunrise photography. The Straw 2 Grad filter is a fairly strong yellow and is a good warm-up filter. Mahogany 1 Grad helps achieve a paler sunrise effect, while placing the Straw Stripe across the horizon adds warmth.

Landscape Set Designed to compliment the landscape, whether rural, suburban or busy city centre. The set contains Real Blue 2 Grad which gives a deeper hue to blue or grey skies, a Straw 3 Grad, which when inverted adds warmth to the foreground, and a sepia 2 Grad, a deep chocolate colour which enhances rocks, foliage and fallen leaves.

Colour Grad Set This is a set of three graduated filters - Cyan, Yellow and Magenta - used to create special effects and to colour a chosen section of the image being photographed. By using these filters in varying combinations, red, blue and green effects can also be created. Additionally, effects can be achieved by using the filters in opposition to each other. The cyan, for example, could be on the top of the frame, enhancing the sky, whilst the yellow could be adding colour to the faded grass.

Sky Blue Set The Sky Blue Set contains Sky Blue 1, 2 and 3 graduated effect filters from the sky blue series, allowing addition of varying degrees of colour to otherwise grey or colourless skies. These filters are ideally suited for use in land and seascapes.

Coral Set These three pale to mid-tone, coral grads (2,4 and 6) can be used as general warm-up filters, or provide special effects. They can also be used to create slightly orange skies. These filters come from the coral range of products, where, as the number in the series increases, the amount of colour temperature correction increases.

Pale Tint Set This set comprises the number one grade (palest) from the green, pink and cyan filter ranges. It offers the photographer an opportunity to create truly subtle tints in the chosen areas of the frame by positioning the colour through rotation of the filter holder, and by moving the filter up or down.

Pop Set This set of graduated filters features three primary colours - red, green and blue - for selective covering over parts of the frame. These filters are ideal for creating special effects, and can be accurately placed by using the rotational feature of the holder system, or by vertical positioning within the filter guides.

Stripe Set The stripe set comprises a set of three filters - yellow, pink and cyan - each with a stripe of colour placed horizontally across the centre of the filter. This enables the colour to be positioned anywhere in the frame, either by rotating the filter holder or by sliding the filter up or down in the holder guides. This set is ideal for creating special effects. The stripe - due to its position on the actual filter - allows itself to be positioned from the lowest point in the frame to the highest.

Mist Set This set consists of a Graduated Mist, a Mist Stripe and a Mist Clear Centre Spot. These filters can be used individually or in combinations to create varying densities of mist and fog. The stripe can often be used to cover the foreground of the shot, providing a feeling of depth of fog, while the clear centre allows the viewers eye to be taken straight to the all important subject. The flexibility of positioning offered by the Lee Filter Holder System significantly increases the choice of effects available to the photographer.

Selective Star Set This set is made up of a Star Spot filter (4pt), a Star Graduated filter (6pt) and a Star Segment filter (8pt). Using these filters, it is possible to create star effects on highlights in various parts of the frame. The Star Spot has a circular cluster of markings to create stars, while the Star Segment will place highlights in a chosen position of the shot. The Star Graduate makes highlights at one end of the filter, reducing to clear resin at the other. Careful inspection of the filters will allow the photographer to determine where the star effect will appear.

Net Set Based on Net filters commonly used in cinematography, these filters provide a subtle soft focus effect while also increasing (black net) or decreasing (white net) contrast. If required the selective hole can be slid into the frame to provide an unaffected clear centre effect. The Black Net 1has an approximate exposure increase of ½ stop. Whilst the Black Net 2 has an approximate exposure increase of 1 stop.
