Lee 100 Graduated ND Hard Filter - Filter Set
The Lee 100mm ND Graduated Hard Resin Filter Set is made up of three 100 x 150mm ND Grad filters (0.3, 0.6 and 0.9) with a hard dark to light transition. Hard ND grads are used for images with a hard transition between the sky and the foreground. Placing the Neutral Density part of the filter onto the sky in the frame will reduce the sky exposure, ensuring the cloud detail is correctly exposed.

Should I use hard or soft grads?
Hard Grads
As a general rule, a hard grad would be used for images containing a horizon, or any hard transition between the sky and the foreground - even with jagged or mountainous horizons, the exposure can be controlled far easier with a hard grad.
Soft Grads
Soft grads perform best in woodland, mist, or interiors. Anywhere where there is no definite transition between sky and foreground, a soft grad will gently balance exposure across the image.
