Magic Filter + Strobe!

Well, you are meant to use the Magic Filters so that the sun is behind you to illuminate the subject and you don't use a strobe.

So, I thought "what the hell", and broke both rules and achieved this. I am really quite pleased with it. It was actually inspired by a photo of Martin Edges' with a small coral head beneath the boat - I thought I'd add a layer of complexity with the diver.



I managed to do it by WB'ing towards the surface and then using a slight amount of flash to bring out the coral - the WB hasn't fully negated the effect of the filter which is why the coral is that colour.

What do you think?
