Sunset
With a Cokin Sunset filter you don't need to wait till evening - you can simulate the colors of the setting sun in the morning or almost anytime. You can not make 12:00 noon in downtown Los Angeles look like a warm, coffee-sipping, prairie sunset in Montana by simply slapping a sunset filter over the lens either.
The two Sunset filters (197, 198) are graduated, the upper densely colored section highlights the effect of the sky, while the lower less dense section gives the rest of the picture the desired sunset effect.
These filters can be combined with almost all other Cokin filters and attachments : Diffraction, Colored Varnish, Vaseline, Diffusers, Dreams, Split field, Polarizers, Super Speed, Double Exposure, Prism, etc.
For even greater sunsets combine this filter with a Tobacco or Pink grad filter
"124 tobacco and the 198 sunset: as you recommended to combine both filters; I thought that can not go good; BUT: amazing results; even with the 2 filters together !!! "

"'Don't submit that awful photo you made with the Cokin filter," Allison said to me. "They'll never go for that phony sunset!" So I did, of course, and it was responsible for our first double-page spread in a major Canadian publication!"
