Skip Navigation LinksHome : Video course : Module 4: Lighting Underwater : Backscatter

Taking our own light source with us underwater obviously extends the range of our videographic activities. It also creates some new problem areas.

We cannot easily introduce lighting underwater without some awareness of the phenomenon called Backscatter. Water holds minute particles in suspension (technically known as CRUD) which catch, and reflect, the light back at us, making our pictures look like they were taken in a snowstorm!
