Articles on a range of underwater photography and diving related subjects
If you’d like to watch the first of my Facebook Live videos click on the picture below. In this one I talked about strobes (underwater flashes) including how they got their name, the difference between video lights and strobes for underwater photography, combined video lights/LED strobes and what makes a good strobe .
When speaking about underwater photography to diving clubs in the UK I often get asked whether the things I talk about apply to GoPros. The basic underwater photography techniques are very relevant to using an action camera, but I thought it would be good to put my money where mouth is and do some still photography with a GoPro on my latest trip to Egypt.
I’ve not addressed one of the big questions in underwater photography yet. Which are better strobes or video lights?

I’ll also try and give some advice on how to set your camera when using a constant light source rather than a flash.
