TylerMoore 0 Posted July 17, 2007 Does anybody use any type of diffuser on their flashes underwater? I was looking over my photos from last year and the light seemed so harsh. It was my first time doing underwater photography ever, and I was shooting film with a nikonos V and a sb105 flash, so I really couldn't correct it at the time. We go to key largo the first week of august like every year and i'd like to at least get one photo or two to make a print of up on my wall. I was thinking about wrapping some white cloth around the flash and rubber banding it on there for a diffuser? anyone try anything like this? Also, this weekend i'm going up to south dakota to dive some of the clearer lakes up there and my friend and I are going to test our cameras out before the florida trip. Does anybody do any freshwater lake photography? Especially in the midwest here? I'd like to see some photos from peolpe if you have them, and some tips you have as well. Thanks a lot! -Tyler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can also make them - there are a lot of milk jugs out there with circular holes in them. If you're having problems with hot spots, it may be more about the angle of your flash. Might try adjusting it so the edge of the beam lights your subject, rather than the hot spot center (yet another thing I learned from Martin Edge's book - awesome reference for the new underwater photographer).

Arnon_Ayal 1 Posted July 19, 2007 See this thread about diffuser. You can find in E-Bay this items and I also found it one year ago in B&H. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
