Capture the dramatic highlight detail in your images with Galen Rowell Graduated Neutral Density Filters
When photographing landscapes and other outdoor scenes, its often a challenge to capture enough detail and color saturation in the bright sky, distant mountains and in areas along the horizon while also properly exposing the scenes foreground. The photo below illustrates what can happen when the range of exposure levels (f-stops) within a scene exceeds the dynamic range of the film or digital sensor in your camera. When were photographing a scene such as this, with its wide range of light and shadow areas, our film or digital camera is unable to take in as many levels of brightness as our eyes. Thats why some areas in our slides or digital images of a beautiful scene will often appear washed out and much less dramatic than what we visualized. One way to extend the With no filter dynamic range of the film/sensor and capture more of the dramatic detail and colors of such high-contrast scenes is to use a Singh-Ray Graduated Neutral Density (ND) Filter to hold back the stronger light from the bright sky and mountain areas. The upper half of the Graduated ND Filter is a neutral gray color and the bottom half is completely clearyoull find a photo of this filter on Page 16. By placing the filter in front of your lens and looking through your cameras viewfinder, you can quickly see how the filters denser gray half reduces the bright areas in the upper part of your image to help balance the overall exposure.

For example, to capture the lighthouse scene as it appears below, the photographer positioned a Graduated ND Filter in front of his lens to hold back the sky area and lighthouse. The lens opening and shutter speed for both images were the same.

If youre using a digital camera that provides a histogram display of each image as its made, its easy to gauge the effect of the Graduated ND Filter. Start by shooting an image of a high-contrast outdoor scene without using any filter. Meter your image to properly record the open shadow areas in the foreground and take the picture. When you check the histogram of your first image, youll find the shadow areas are properly exposed, but the brightest light levels in the sky will likely be piled up against the right side of the histogramindicating that they are burned out with little or no detail in the

image file. If you reduce the exposure by a few f-stops, the brightness of the highlights can be controlled, but the shadow areas are now stacked against the left side of the histogramwarning you that the shadow details in the foreground may be lost. An exposure in between the previous exposures will show neither the highlights nor the shadows looking their best. By positioning a Graduated Neutral Density filter in front of your lens, you can easily hold back the brightness of the sky. If you make another exposure at the same setting used for your first image, youll see a big improvement. The histogram will show much less burning out of the highlight areas. With practice, youll learn how easy it is to capture more detail in all your high-contrast scenes simply by using Singh-Ray Graduated ND Filters. The series of six standard Singh-Ray Graduated ND Filters was originally developed with extensive field tests by renowned outdoor photographer Galen Rowell. The series includes 1-, 2-, and 3-stop gradient densities in both hard-step

and soft-step gradient patterns. Singh-Ray currently offers 4-stop hard-step and softstep gradient densities as well. Many outdoor photographers consider Singh-Ray Graduated ND Filters essential to their success for several reasons: The 84x120mm size of each filter fits Cokin P-size filter holders and allows raising, lowering and tilting the filter to position the gradient area precisely. Filters can also be hand held. Superior optical clarity, spectral response and color neutrality assure a high-quality image every time even when used with other Singh-Ray Filters. A broad range of gradient densities and gradient patterns gives photographers a wide choice to handle many different composition and lighting challenges. Photographers working with digital cameras report their Graduated ND Filters save considerable postproduction time and effort by enabling them to control high contrast scenes and balance exposures for most of their shots right in the camera.

For added versatility in the field, Singh-Ray also offers the Reverse Graduated ND and 4x6-inch Graduated ND Filters
When photographers use their Singh-Ray Graduated ND Filters for sunset and sunrise scenes, they soon discover that the standard gradient patternswhich are darkest at the top and lighter toward the middlemay at times work against them. The standard gradient pattern holds back the upper areas of the sky more than is sometimes desired. When shooting toward the glowing sun at sunrise or sunset, the foreground is often dark or backlit and the upper sky is not as bright as it is along the horizon. Several years ago, outdoor photographer Daryl Benson discussed this problem with Singh-Ray. His call soon led to the Reverse Graduated ND Filter which has a gradient pattern that is densest near the filters midline and then becomes gradually lighter in the upper third of the filter (see filter on page 16). When the rising or setting sun is close to the horizon and shining brightly, this unique filter can help you achieve a better exposure balance in both the foreground and in the open sky overhead. Singh-Ray offers the Reverse Gradient ND Filter in densities of either 1, 2, 3 or 4 f-stops, with the 3- and 2-stop used most frequently. Sometimes, experienced photographers will sandwich this filter along with other Graduated ND Filters for even greater control over the scene. Working closely with leading outdoor photographers helps Singh-Ray learn new things about how our filters are being used. For example, weve found that many photographers prefer to hand hold their standard P-size 84x120mm Graduated ND Filters rather than placing them in the Cokin lens-mounted filter holder. Their reasons for manually positioning their Graduated ND Filters include faster handling, no holder to carry, and being
4 Singh-Ray Filters www.singh-ray.com

able to avoid vignetting by placing the filter directly in front of their wideangle lenssince its the filter holder not the filter that usually leads to vignetting. When you want to sandwich two Graduated ND Filters together, its also much easier to hold them up to the light to fine tune the gradients before holding them in front of the lens and making the exposure. Photographers who hand hold their Graduated ND Filters should consider the

benefits of using Singh-Rays 4x6-inch size filters, which are 50% larger and thus provide greater handling ease and control than the standard P-size filters. Manually positioning the 4x6 Graduated ND Filters can really help when working in quickly changing light to capture a rainbow, fast-moving clouds or the rising sun. Its also easier to bracket the scene using various gradient positions and filter combinations.

The larger 4x6-inch filters also help reduce the possibility that your image will accidentally include the edge of the filter or an intruding fingertip. The Singh-Ray 4x6 Graduated ND Filters are sized to fit Cokin Z-Pro and Lee filter holders. Except for their size, they are the same as standard Graduated ND Filters and are available in the same gradient densities and patternsincluding the Reverse Graduated ND Filters.

Singh-Rays LB Warming Polarizer transmits 66% more light than before for faster exposures and brighter viewing
Until now, polarizing filtersincluding Singh-Rays long-popular Warming Polarizer PLUSrequired an exposure increase of 2-stops for most outdoor scenes. Thanks to Singh-Ray technology, theres now the remarkably lighter, brighter LB Warming Polarizer that requires only 1-1/3 f-stops of additional exposure. In other words, LB Warming Polarizer transmits much more light to give you an important exposure gain of 2/3 of an f-stop, compared to older 2-stop polarizers. This boost in light transmission is achieved without any loss in the filters polarizing performance. The actual in-thefield benefits of this technical breakthrough will be obvious as soon as you begin using the LB Warming Polarizer. The first thing youll notice is the brighter image in your viewfinder which helps you compose each shot and dial in just the right degree of polarization. Brighter imaging also helps your cameras autofocus and metering systems respond more quickly in low lightespecially when your maximum lens aperture is smaller than f/2.8. Your exposures will be about 2/3 of an f-stop faster than they would be with your previous polarizer. This lets you choose either a faster shutter speed for sharper images or a smaller lens opening for more depth of field. When the LB Warming Polarizer is used with Graduated Neutral Density Filters, the improved brightness in the viewfinder helps you position the gradient area quickly and precisely. It wont take long, in fact, before you realize just how helpful the added exposure speed of the LB Warming Polarizer can be for almost all your outdoor photography.

Leading outdoor photographers will often point to the warming circular polarizer as their most useful filter for a wide range of subjects and lighting situations. Over the past 30 years, many outdoor photographers have placed their full trust in the superior optical resolution and color neutrality of Singh-Rays circular polarizers. Because its so much faster and easier to use for sports, wildlife, travel and other action photography, the LB Warming Polarizer is winning over even more friends. Youll find the LB Warming Polarizer is useful for a wide variety of lighting conditionsvirtually any time you want to increase color saturation by cutting the glare from reflective surfaces such as wet foliage, water surfaces, snow scenes, windows, seascapes, and aerials. More and more digital camera users are discovering the importance of using a polarizer on their cameras as they are photographing, since there is virtually no effective way to produce the same results in post production. Whenever you use a warming polarizer

to increase the contrast between a bright blue sky and white clouds, its important to remember that maximum skylight polarization occurs along an arc 90 degrees to the suns axis. The deepest blue in the sky will be on your right or left or directly over head as you face toward or away from the sun. It often helps to preview the polarizers potential effect by holding it to your eye and rotating the filter as you view the scene. When photographing subjects against a polarized sky, even slight changes in camera position can make a dramatic difference. If you plan to use the LB Warming Polarizer with a wide-angle lens, consider choosing Singh-Rays optional thin-ring mount to minimize the risk of vignetting. This ring is less than 5mm thick since it has no filter threads on its front rim. Front-rim threads are necessary, however, if you plan to screw in another filter or a filter holder on the front of your polarizer. Singh-Ray also offers the LB Warming Polarizer mounted in a sprocket ring to work with the Cokin P-size filter holder.

Singh-Rays LB Color Intensifier is now lighter and brighter with no loss in chromatic performance
The new LB (for lighter, brighter) Color Intensifier from Singh-Ray now transmits 66% more light than previouslythats 2/3 of an f-stop! This increased light transmission allows you to use either a faster shutter speed for added sharpness or a smaller lens opening for more depth of field. The LB Color Intensifier transmits a brighter image to your viewfinder, too, and helps support your cameras autofocusing and metering response in low light. Best of all, reducing this new filters density has in no way compromised its subtle yet natural color intensifying effect. As more outdoor photographers learn to use Singh-Ray Filters to extend the exposure range of their digital cameras, they are also finding that the LB Color Intensifier can improve the color contrast in their images as they are created in the camera. Thats been an important reason for its success. In spite of its intense name, the effect of the LB Color Intensifier is always subtle and natural lookingonly enough to enrich the inherent color contrast in many scenes. Neutral colors and white areas remain completely natural looking. Its understandable why some photographers rely on the LB Color Intensifier almost continuously to capture the full color range of any and all subjects they shoot in just about any kind of light. Although there are various types of enhancing filters available to accent red and orange areas in fall foliage, red-rock canyons and other warm subjects, the LB Color Intensifier is able to bring forth the greens as well as the warmer colors in any scene. Equally important, the resulting images show no hint of the disturbing magenta cast often attributed to some color enhancers.

One LB Polarizer plus one LB Color Intensifier equals the one-and-only LB ColorCombo

The secret of using both a polarizer to control reflecting sunlight and a color intensifier to improve color saturation has long been popular among top landscape photographers. It became even more popular when Singh-Ray introduced the Polarizer PLUS Color Intensifier combined as one easier-to-use filter in 1994. Singh-Ray has now introduced the unique LB ColorCombo which combines the new LB Warming Polarizer with the LB Color Intensifier. This lighter, brighter combination is more than one full f-stop faster than its predecessor. Versatility may be the best word to describe the LB ColorCombos importance. With this one filter on your lensbacked up with one or two Graduated ND Filters in your bagyoull soon feel prepared to handle

almost any photographic opportunity that comes your way. The best part, however, is discovering how often the LB ColorCombo helps you save the picture by reducing glare and reflections while subtly enriching the colors in your image. As one outdoor photographer explains, I leave the ColorCombo on until theres a reason to take it off. Because the LB ColorCombo transmits more light to your viewfinder, its very easy to see and fine tune the variable effect of the polarizer and the positioning of your Graduated ND Filters. Whether your purpose for using the LB ColorCombo is dramatic or subtle, your images will look natural. White clouds, bright snow and polar bears will remain white and every color will appear clean and true.

Blurred-motion images are easier and more fun with the Vari-ND variable-density filter

Just as fast shutter speeds enable you to freeze the motion of moving subjects, the Vari-ND variable neutral density filter lets you use extra-long shutter speeds that will cause the moving elements in your image to blur and convey a visual impression of flowing motion and time. The Vari-ND reduces the passage of light so you can use much longer shutter speedseven in bright sunlight. The density of the Vari-ND can be easily changed from its minimum density of approximately 2 f-stops to nearly 8 f-stops as you rotate its outer ring. Its an excellent way to blur the motion of falling water, passing clouds, busy people, or other action in your image. For example, to photograph a sunlit waterfall at mid-day, an exposure meter may call for a 1/500-second shutter speed at f/8 with no filter. In images made at this fast shutter speed, the flowing water will appear in sharp detail. Using the Vari-ND

allows the shutter speed to be as slow as 1/2 second at f/8 and still maintain the same exposure. (See chart on next page). At this slower shutter speed, flowing water will appear to be soft and silky, or calm water will become as smooth as a mirror. To pan your shot of a speeding car or a duck landing on water, the Vari-ND easily slows your shutter speed to achieve a more dramatic and moving background image. To use selective focus to emphasize your main subject, open your lens to its widest aperture to minimize depth-of-field, focus, then dial the Vari-ND to the density needed to correctly expose your image. Since the Vari-ND covers every neutral density value from 2 to 8 f-stops, theres no more need to carry a set of graded neutral density filters. This saves you money, plus time and effort when youre in the field. Instead of framing and focusing your image through the darker density of a

How Vari-ND slows down your shutter speed for a typical daylight scene
Without a Vari-ND on your lens Vari-ND on lens and set to Min density (2 stops) Vari-ND on lens and set to a middle density (5 stops) Vari-ND on lens and set near Max density (8 stops) For even slower shutter speeds that will produce the same exposure, simply reduce your lens opening as you slow your shutter speed correspondingly

...as the effective exposure always remains the same:

Exposure = 1/500 sec. at f/8 Exposure = 1/125 sec. at f/8 Exposure = 1/15 sec. at f/8 Exposure = 1/2 sec. at f/8 Exposure = 1 sec. at f/11 Exposure = 2 sec. at f/16 Exposure = 4 sec. at f/22

1/60 second, no filter

conventional solid ND filter, you can easily focus and frame with the Vari-ND set at its minimum 2-stop density. Then, just before making the exposure, simply rotate the outer ring to whatever density you need. The Vari-ND is most easily used with digital SLR cameras that let you quickly review and learn from each shot. Although blurring alters the sharpness of any moving subjects, the Vari-ND maintains optical resolution in the scenes non-moving areas, provided the camera is on a firm tripod during the long exposure.

Capture more color and life in your images, with the versatile Gold-N-Blue Polarizer

For those photo moments when everything is right except the lightwhen you cant return later and the clock is runningits quite a relief to have your trusty Gold-NBlue Polarizer in hand to brighten the day. As you hold the Gold-N-Blue to your eye and rotate it, youll see light-reflecting areas in the scene gradually change from golden yellows to dramatic blue tones then back again. These polarized color effects are strongest when your lens is directed

90 degrees away from the angle of sunlight. Effects will vary from scene to scene, offering a choice of visual options. Even when there is no strong, direct sunlight, the Gold-N-Blue Polarizer often picks up just enough polarized light from the sky to add subtle enhancements. The Gold-N-Blue Polarizer changes only the polarized light rays, so the image retains its natural look. Whether its flat overhead sunlight, rainy gray reflections or lackluster high-contrast

mid-day lighting, the Gold-N-Blue helps make the best of the light you have. Even the most enthusiastic users of the Gold-N-Blue understand its effects are not always predictable. Many who began using the Gold-N-Blue when they were shooting film have been pleased to discover the effects are sometimes recorded a bit more subtly by their digital sensors. Thats why they keep it close at hand, ready to explore the possibilities in each new scene.

Hi-Lux Warming UV Filter assures optical clarity as well as full-time lens protection

Hi-Lux Filter Jon Sheppard

In 2004, with the photographic world already supplied with enough UV filters to guard the front element of most of its camera lenses, Singh-Ray nevertheless set out to formulate a professional UV filter that would be well worth using for its optical qualities alone. The result is the Hi-Lux Warming UV Filter. Designed to do what many would say cant be doneimprove the peak acuity and chromatic clarity of lenses under certain light conditionsthe Hi-Lux offers special optical characteristics that not only control ultraviolet light, but help optimize the quality, contrast, and edge separation between colors and add just slightly less warming than an 81-A filter. The Hi-Lux is very effective in bright sunlight, with electronic flash, and at high altitudes. In some situations, the difference between using and not using the Hi-Lux may not always be obvious. Even keeneyed professionals wont always see the advantage. Those who are now using a Hi-Lux full-time on their lenses, however, are convinced they get much more than lens protection.

New Soft-Ray Diffuser dreams up softer, mystical images wherever it goes

Developed initially for leading nature photographer Tony Sweetwho asked Singh-Ray for a serious professional grade diffusion filterthe Soft-Ray offers you a poetic way to portray what you see. By diffusing the image, the Soft-Ray can often achieve a stronger emotional impact for some subjects. Its capable of accentuating the softness in the scene as much as the subject itself.

The Soft-Ray applies a high-tech design that maintains its diffusing effect at all lens apertures and generates its luminous effect very evenly from corner to corner without losing the essential detail. The Soft-Ray also works well with many other SinghRay filtersfrom Graduated ND Filters to the LB ColorComboto get precisely the image you want, and get it right in the cameraright now.

Outdoor, portrait, and commercial photographers working in the artistic medium of black and white infrared photographyusing either infrared film or IR-sensitive digital cameraswill appreciate the advantages of Singh-Rays I-Ray infrared filter. While efficiently transmitting over 90% of the near-infrared wavelengths between 700 and 1100 nanometers, this totally opaque black filter eliminates all visible and ultraviolet light. The result is a purely infrared, often dreamlike image unlike any achieved by conventional photography. By using the I-Ray Filter with a digital EVF camera capable of recording infrared light, the image can be previewed on the LCD screen and then instantly captured.

What top photographers say about Singh-Ray Filters

No matter where on Earth I travel, I take my Singh-Ray Filters to help capture the images exactly as I visualize them. I know I can trust Singh-Rays superior quality. Art Wolfe www.artwolfe.com If you were to look at the catalogs of most filter makers from 30 years ago and today, youd find precious little difference in their line of offerings. Its like the whole industry went to sleep in the 1970s and has not yet woken up...except for Bob Singh. Singh-Ray is always pushing the envelope; asking photographers what theyd love to have in a filter and then, bingo, making it happen. Its as if Bob has a conduit into our imaginations and, if we dream it, hell try to make it. I admire that innovation and am thankful for all the situations Ive encountered where a Singh-Ray filter helped make the difference between just getting a shot and making a memorable photograph. Bob Krist www.bobkrist.com The Singh-Ray Filters I use are an integral part of obtaining the best digital images possible. They give me important options I would not otherwise haveI can optimize and influence the image by selecting either the LB Warming Polarizer, LB ColorCombo or Gold-N-Blue. And I can easily control the exposure time with the Vari-ND. And Singh-Ray quality is simply the best. George Lepp www.geolepp.com The Singh-Ray LB ColorCombo is one more remarkable filter from Singh-Ray. I must add there are a number of Singh-Ray filters I rely on for much of my outdoor photography, especially the Vari-ND, Reverse Graduated Neutral Density and recently introduced Soft-Ray filters. As I have learned the importance of filters over the years, Ive also learned that Bob Singhs personal service and technical support makes SinghRay filters simply the best in the business.

My quality preference has been Singh-Ray Filters for many years, and when it comes to performance Im even more impressed. From their 4x6 Graduated ND Filters that are so easy to use hand-held in the field, to the one-of-a-kind Vari-ND and extra-bright LB Polarizer, Singh-Ray Filters perform like no others. In fact, the new LB Color Intensifier has changed the way I work and see. I use it almost continuously. Steve Kossack www.stevekossack.com I often photograph in extreme elemental conditions and need a superior protective filter for all my lenses, so I use the SinghRay Hi-Lux filter. It is of the highest quality and resists scratching. In fact all of my filters are Singh-Ray: Graduated Neutral Density, Neutral Density and LB Warming Polarizer filters. Nevada Wier www.nevadawier.com The new Singh-Ray LB Warming Polarizer is a great advancement. Shooting either film or digital here in the Rocky Mountains, Im using either this filter or the Hi-Lux for almost every scene. The improved transmission of the LB Polarizer brightens my viewfinder and lets me use a faster shutter speed. For rich, warm colors, the LB Polarizer gets my vote. Jon Sheppard jonshepp@vail.net Bought my first Singh-Ray Filter many years ago and have never bought another brand since.
