In Topic: Backscatter

08 June 2012 - 03:11 AM

Hi, I have a problem with backscatter between my camera and my target. I have the strobes set up wide to reduce backscatter, but for my wider-angle shots (e.g., wrecks), I have a ton of backscatter still. I generally shoot ISO100, around F6.3, and around 1/200 I have an S95 with Ikelite housing as well as two YS-01 strobes. For the Ikelite housing, would you recommend black tape on the inside and over the front of the fiber-optic sensor? Could light getting through the front be the cause of backscatter? Do you have any example of taping done with this type of Ikelite housing? Thanks!



I have to wonder:
1 - How close you are to the wide angle subject?
2 - Have you dry tested the flash?
With respect to 1, if you are more than 6 feet away from your subject I would expect backscatter, even in the most optimal conditions it can be really tough to get the light on just the subject under those conditions.
With respect to 2, using a red light for focusing, and take a test shot with just the housing and camera and see if you get any illumination from the flash, that will tell you how much light is getting through.
