so sorry for the late reply.... been out getting soggy at 70FSW! - no, the white images in the top right are the internal refraction from the CLEAR IKILETE housing.... (which is why i no longer have a CLEAR IKELTE housing!) - the HOTSPOTS are bright flaming ORANGE orbs springled about the video.... they're ORANGE 'cos i have the RED FILTER on (at depth) and when i colour corrected in post (to fix the other 99% of the video colour) the white light seen through the red filter came back as ORANGE....R.Soper:Thanks for the tips, Meekal, i watched your video which was great by the way.
Were the hotspots the white images in the top right quarter of the screen (i don't know what i am looking for here, and my programme has no timer.) How do you avoid these hotspots, and how do you use the red filter in conjunction with the lights?
Cheers - Bob
PeaceDog:Am I understanding this correctly? Using HID Lights you feel that it only has a 2' working distance, and that for wide-angle shots or shots with any depth of field you have to color correct?
Just trying to get clarification.
larsdennert:It was a day dive and yes beyond 2' it doesn't do much with all the light in the water. Maybe 4' max, but then, what still flash does anything beyond 4'?
BTW the beam is 6 degrees without the diffuser(s) and 30 or 40 with. Not really an option to use it without I think unless you are only doing macro. The diffusers go inside the light so you can't switch during the dive (and have the light still work)
