Backscatter

[Big Steph]

Nice one Kirky, never thought about scanning the photo's, then touching them up.  My MX5 will not take an external strobe, so my buddy has a new job.

Hey guys - interesting to read the suggestions about avoiding backscatter.  Some of our Red Sea photos had backscatter too, but I will take on board the tips for our next venture to the Philippines at new year (hooray!!):)

However, regarding the photos posted from the Red Sea - credit for, I believe two of them, go to the Milkybarkid and his buddy Judy.  I am fairly certain my MX5, even with the strobe, wouldn't light up that well on a night dive (see lion and puffer fish).  In fact so impressed was I with their UK D8 I went out and bought one myself!

Looks like Gav has himself a new duty on our next night dive - lighting technician (torch holder) for moi!

Fi - the red sea pics were good - there will always be some backscatter. When I had the MMEXII i got abot 30 pics that were half decent from 12 rols of film !!!

Got my underwater photo's back today. &nbsp;Most of the shots came out great but not perfect, a lot better than before.
I had already tried most of the methods suggested, so all the tips and tricks you lot told me actualy worked.

Thanks Guys.
