Product Overview

The 150x170mm Nano IR Soft Graduated Neutral Density filter from Nisi is specially designed for landscape photographers. This filter is made from high quality optical glass (not rasin) with nano coating to prevent losing any single bit of detail. The filter is designed with dark area on the top and gradually to clear at the bottom preventing over exposure of skies. Neutral density filters do not affect the coloration of the image and the 0.9 density provides a 3 stop reduction in light from entering the lens. This filter measures 3.9 x 5.9″ / 100 x 150mm and is compatible with the Nisi 100mm filter holder or other 100mm Standard Filter Holder (Lee, Cokin or Formatt Hitech). The filter can be repositioned in the holder allowing recompose the photo for the best result.

By using neutral density filter the camera is vulnerable to infrared light which will cast the unwanted red color to the photos when shotting at small aperture. Nisi added the infrared protection coating layer to this filter which help to eliminate the infrared light through the lens to bring back the nature color.

FAQs

How does a graduated neutral density filter work in landscape photography?

A graduated neutral density filter works by reducing the amount of light that enters the camera lens in specific areas of the image. In landscape photography, the filter is typically darker at the top to help balance the exposure between a bright sky and a darker foreground. This allows for more detailed and balanced images without overexposing the highlights in the sky.

What is the benefit of using a soft graduated ND filter over a hard graduated ND filter?

A soft graduated ND filter has a more gradual transition from dark to clear, which is beneficial for scenes with soft horizons such as overcast skies or when the horizon is obscured by trees or mountains. This allows for a more natural and seamless blending of light and helps avoid harsh lines that can occur with hard graduated filters, making it ideal for landscape photography.

Can this filter be used for other types of photography besides landscapes?

While this filter is primarily designed for landscape photography, it can also be used in other scenarios where controlling light is necessary, such as capturing long exposures of water to create a smooth effect. It can help maintain detail in bright areas while keeping the foreground well-exposed.

How do I properly position the filter in the holder for the best results?

To achieve the best results, ensure that the dark portion of the filter is aligned with the area of the scene that you want to darken, typically the sky. The filter can be repositioned in the holder, allowing you to adjust the height and angle to suit your composition. Experimenting with different positions can help you find the ideal look for your specific shot.

What maintenance is required for the NiSi Nano IR Soft Graduated ND Filter?

To maintain the filter's performance and longevity, it is important to keep it clean. Use a microfiber cloth to gently wipe the surface, avoiding any abrasive materials that could scratch the glass. If the filter is heavily soiled, use a lens cleaning solution specifically designed for optical glass. Regular care will ensure optimal image quality and prevent any degradation of the nano coating.

Does the filter affect the colour balance of my images?

No, neutral density filters, including the NiSi Nano IR Soft Graduated ND Filter, are designed to have minimal impact on the colour balance of your images. The filter allows for even light reduction across the frame without introducing colour casts, which is essential for maintaining the natural colours in your photographs.

Is this filter compatible with other filter brands?

Yes, the NiSi 150x170mm Nano IR Soft Graduated ND Filter is compatible with any 150mm filter holder system, including those from other reputable brands such as Lee, Cokin, and Formatt Hitech. This versatility allows you to integrate the filter into your existing photography setup without needing to purchase a specific holder.

What are the advantages of the infrared protection coating on this filter?

The infrared protection coating on the NiSi filter helps to eliminate unwanted infrared light that can cause colour shifts, particularly when shooting at smaller apertures. This ensures that your images retain their natural colours and maintain accurate tonal reproduction, allowing for a more professional and polished final product.
