Often-especially with backlit subjects, you cannot choose an exposure to give accurate rendering of the whole subject : part just has to be overexposed or underexposed, if the important areas are to come out right. Graduated filters are intended to overcome this problem-in some cases. One end of the filter is quite dense, and the dye then tails off to a plain glass area at the other end. Usually, the graduation is not smooth across the filter. 1, record 3, English, - graduated%20filter
