LEE Filters 90x75mm Seven5 Coral 2 Soft 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.
Soft graduated filters means the transition between the
coated and uncoated portions of a soft graduated filter is less sharp and more
subtle than in a hard grad. A soft grad is recommended when the variation in
light readings within a scene is less pronounced and on occasions when a hard
grad would be apparent in the result, showing a line along the composition. The
transition in tones from bright to dark should appear very natural when using a
soft grad.
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 2 is part of the Coral Light range and is a weaker
filter in the range, the higher the number, the further the colour correction.
