Matching underwater color from ambient to onboard

4 posts
  1. I've been working on this for video and hoping to get some more input that may further help.  I can get a good white balance for the ambient scene when the visibility is good and I'm not too deep, but obviously that means anything that swims into the onboard lighting looks very red.  I got some keldan blue filters (which fit my Kraken 10K lumen torches like a glove btw) and they work really well, so now I can lighten those underbelly shadows as bigger fish come close to the lens and it still looks natural.  This is the only time I'll use a red filter AND the lights.  Do you do it differently?  What about at greater depths?  

  2. I shoot deep in Mediterranean waters. I've never tried blue filters and actually they won't fit on my Keldan Luna.

    Sorry
