LEE Filters 100x150mm Coral 1 Hard Graduated Resin
Filter
Resin filters are made from lightweight optically correct
polymeric materials. This ensures they are durable, easy to handle and can be
wiped clean if sprayed by the sea or sand during a shoot.
Hard graduated filters are characterised by a very sharp
transition between the coated and uncoated sections of the filter. This allows
the photographer to control with great precision the desired effect on
composition aiding especially when the transition between two areas in the
frame is particularly abrupt. It means the effect provided by the filter does
not carry over to other parts of the frame where it would be undesirable.
Coral filters were developed for the movie industry to give
accurate colour temperature corrections with a bit of added red. Other filters
are regarded as giving neutral warmth however the coral range has a pinkish
warm –up and are a popular alternative. When placed across the sky a warm soft
hue is introduced, when inverted they bring tone to greenery in the foreground.
The Coral 1 is part of the Coral Light range and is the weakest in the range, the higher the number, the further the colour correction.
