Is underwater photography difficult? Actually, no—at least, not to any significant degree when compared with any other discipline of photography. Each single stage of creating an underwater photograph, if seen in isolation from the rest, is not so tricky. It is the sum of all its parts, as well as mastering the whole, which can appear confusing at times.
RC Astro and Go Ask Erin are thrilled to unveil BackscatterXterminator (BSXT), a game-changing Photoshop plugin that eliminates backscatter from underwater photos with a single miraculous click.
A Breakthrough for Underwater Photographers
Backscatter, the colloquial term for particulate matter suspended in water, has long been the bane of underwater photographers. Although many editing techniques exist to get rid of goo in underwater photos, nothing comes within light years of BSXT’s superpowers.

The Underwater Photography Guide is delighted to announce that it is accepting entries for the 2024 edition of the annual Ocean Art Underwater Photo Competition – now in its 13th year!
The Ocean Art underwater photo contest continues to be the world’s most prestigious underwater photo contest with the largest endowment. This year’s competition features over $60,000 in prizes! The competition attracts amateur to pro photographers across the globe.
The competition called for passionate underwater shooters from around the world to submit their most captivating and compelling images and videos from the Australasian region.
Shooters were invited to immerse themselves in the challenge of capturing the essence of this extraordinary realm, where every frame tells a story of the delicate balance and breathtaking beauty that characterises our oceans.
We asked our contributors to share their favorite images of the ornate and ornamental in the underwater realm, and they returned with a fine selection of macro and wide-angle shots featuring a diverse range of marine species from fancy fish, cephalopods, crustaceans, echinoderms, crinoids, corals and anemones to dappled whales and sharks to delicate nudibranchs and sea slugs.
The light set’s revolutionary Color Boost feature enhances colors underwater.
The 5000+ lights offer a 90 CRI (color rendering index) with a proprietary LED array that closely simulates natural sunlight (A CRI of 100 would be just like outdoor daylight). Most other LED lights offer a much lower CRI, missing critical colors necessary to produce natural and colorful still images and videos.
The WG-1000 is designed for casual underwater photography up to 15 meters (49.2 feet) deep or up to one hour of continuous operation.
The next theme in the Contributors' Picks series is 'Gems of the Sea'. This can include underwater species or scenes with gem colors such as ruby red, emerald green, sapphire blue, amethyst purple, amber gold, sparkly diamond, and shiny silver.
