Tiffen 4×4 Inch #9 (3) Yellow Camera Filter | 449Y3
The Tiffen 4 x 4 Inch #9 (3) Yellow Camera Filter is a classic contrast filter for black-and-white photography and cinematography, corresponding to the familiar #9 / #3 yellow density used to darken skies and enhance cloud definition.
- Effect: In black-and-white capture, it darkens blue skies relative to white clouds, increasing the visual separation between the two and giving landscapes more punch and contrast.
- Use case: A long-standing choice among black-and-white photographers and cinematographers for outdoor and landscape work.
- Format: 4 x 4 inch square glass filter, compatible with standard matte boxes and filter trays.
- Note: Designed specifically for black-and-white capture ? on color film or a color digital sensor it will impart an overall yellow cast rather than a contrast effect.
A staple filter for anyone shooting black-and-white stills or motion work who wants more dramatic skies straight out of camera.
