Photo Tip – Using Sunlight for Best Color

By Tobias Friedrich

When you’re in a reef landscape without a photo-video light, it’s especially important to shoot with the direction of sunlight and use it as best as you can. Photographing into the sun will result in harsh contrasts and overexposed areas. Photographing with the sunlight captures vivid colors. Make sure to use the correct white balance in the SportDiver app while shooting.

Equipment: SportDiver housing with iPhone 12 Max Pro using 0.5x iPhone Lens

SeaLife SportDiver Smartphone Housing

SL400 – In stock now!

The SportDiver underwater housing works with iPhone® 7 through the 13 Pro Max and most Android phones.  Check if a phone fits and is compatible here. The SportDiver includes a color correcting red filter that brings back lost underwater colors. But the best way to get breathtaking images and brilliant video underwater with your phone is with the complete SportDiver Pro 2500 smartphone housing & photo-video light set.

Sea Dragon 2500F

SL671 – In stock now! The Sea Dragon 2500F closely mimics the brightness of natural sunlight, bringing out amazing colors in underwater photos and videos. With a Color Rendering Index of 90, the Sea Dragon 2500F turns murky and dark scenes into bright & vividly colorful images. The wide beam angle fully covers the image. For even more underwater light coverage, double your lights with the Sea Dragon Duo 5000F Set.
