Lighting: The Key to Vibrant Shots
Proper lighting is essential for capturing vibrant underwater photos and videos. As you dive deeper, natural sunlight fades, and colors like red and yellow disappear first, leaving your shots looking dull or blue-tinted. Adding artificial light restores these colors and reveals the true beauty of marine life. For still photography, strobe lights provide powerful, short bursts of light that freeze motion and enhance sharpness. For video, continuous video lights offer steady illumination for smoother, well-lit footage.
- Video Lights – Ideal for wide-angle videos and night diving.
- Strobe Lights – Essential for clear, colorful still photography.
- Red Filters & Color Correction – Help bring back natural tones in blue or green water.
Pro Tip: Use a dual-light setup to reduce shadows and enhance subject clarity.
