NiSi 100x150mm Reverse Nano IR Graduated Neutral Density Filter ND4 (0.6) – 2 stops

The reverse gradient on this ND filter is exactly what I needed for sunrise shots where the horizon is the brightest part. It balances the exposure perfectly without any color cast, and the optical glass keeps everything sharp.

I was skeptical about how well it would handle the harsh horizon line at sunset, but this reverse grad truly eliminates the need for heavy post-processing. The waterproof coating is a nice practical touch, saving me worry about dew on early morning shoots.

The optical glass on this filter is crystal clear with zero color cast, exactly what I needed for harsh sunrise shots. It handles the bright horizon perfectly without blowing out the sky, and the waterproof coating is a bonus for coastal shoots.
