Welcome
The term "Framed" refers to the act of enclosing or presenting something within a frame, which is a common practice in photography to enhance the visual appeal of an image. "Shot" relates to capturing a photograph, often used to describe the act of taking a picture. Together, "The Framed Shot" suggests a focus on both the artistic presentation of photographs and the moments captured, implying a professional and curated approach to photography. The name evokes a sense of artistry and attention to detail in the photography business.
Hard Transition
A hard transition camera filter is a type of graduated neutral density (GND) filter characterized by a sharp, abrupt division between its dark (neutral density) and clear sections. GND filters are primarily used in landscape photography to balance the exposure between a bright sky and a darker foreground. The dark portion of the filter covers the brighter areas of the scene (typically the sky) to reduce the amount of light reaching the camera sensor, while the clear portion allows for normal exposure in the darker foreground. In a hard transition filter, the change from the darkened area to the clear area is very distinct and noticeable, often appearing as a straight line. Scenes with a well-defined horizon: Hard transition filters are most effective in situations where there's a clear and straight dividing line between the bright and dark areas of the image, like a seascape with a flat horizon or a field with a distinct horizon against the sky. They're often recommended for use with longer focal length lenses (70mm and above) because the distinct transition can be more easily hidden or blended into a natural horizon line. In essence, a hard transition filter acts like a precise, invisible barrier, allowing photographers to tame overly bright skies and create more balanced exposures in situations with a well-defined horizon line.
