For well exposed underwater photos you need one or even two external strobe(s). Every advanced underwater photographer knows. But why? Let's explain.

To begin with: the built-in flash of your underwater camera is just the wrong place for underwater photography. With the light from the built-in flash you not only illuminate your subject, but also the floating dirt between your lens and your subject ... The result is a photo with "snowflakes". Litter. Backscatter. That's too bad. How do you solve that? By placing an external flash on a adjustable arm. This way you can ensure that the subject is exposed from a different angle and the backscatter in front of the lens is not. The backscatter is gone!

Another reason: an external flash is more powerful and the illumination angle is wider. Perfect illumination of your (larger) subject is also easier. Despite the greater flash power, it remains important to photograph close to the subject. The less water there is between the lens port and the subject,

The 16th CMAS World Championship Underwater Photography starts on November 22th in La Paz, Mexico. Our colleagues Raymond Wennekes and Marco Heesbeen will represent The Netherlands in this contest.

It is the third World Championship for Marco Heesbeen (owner of UW Camerastore). He already participated in Cuba in 2013 and in The Netherlands in 2015 resulting in a silver medal in Cuba and a gold medal in The Netherlands. Raymond Wennekes is participating for the first time now. He is the new Dutch Champion and an upcoming talent at world level.

Good luck Marco and Raymond!
