English term or phrase: stop down
If you’re using a graduated filter, place the line carefully. Hide it along a natural line in the scene. Tip it if necessary. Your lens will stop down when you shoot the image—the line will be a bit sharper than it looks through the viewfinder.

ridurrà il diaframma
Explanation:
When you stop down a lens, you are going to a larger number/smaller aperture and therefore less light. Going from f/8 to f/11 is stopping down. The opposite is opening up; going from f/11 to f/8 is moving towards the smaller number/larger aperture and therefore more light.
