The Tiffen 4.5" Round Combination Light Balancing 81EF/Neutral Density (ND) 0.3 Glass Filter combines the effects of an 81EF Light Balancing filter with a Neutral Density filter.
81EF
An
81EF filter (the strongest in the 81 series) will more than replace the
yellow missing from the image and place all skin tones on a distinctly
"warmish" level. You might even consider using an 81EF at the beach to
make a hot scene even "hotter".
It's Autumn. The clouds are low hanging and the sky is "patchy blue". You've gone for a ride upstate to the mountains and the light in open shade is bluish. A photo taken of your girlfriend with daylight balanced film leaning against the side of a barn will yield bluish tones that she might not find particularly flattering.
The 81 series (81A, B, C, D and EF) allows you to choose how much warmth you wish to replace in the image.
Tiffen makes the 81 series of filters in many sizes to accommodate the many uses this filter has. This filter can be used by the pro and amateur alike, weekend photo warrior or pro cinematographer and must be considered an essential addition to any photo arsenal.
Neutral Density (ND)
ND
filters appear grey and reduce the amount of light reaching the film;
They have no effect on color balance. They are very useful when you want
to shoot high speed film outdoors on a very bright day.
Determining
which neutral density filter yields ideal results for any given
lighting situation takes knowledge, experience and a collection of such
filters. Speaking generally, the 2-stop value (ND 0.6) effectively
compensates average situations.
