Backscatter HF-1 Ambient Blue Flat Diffuser

Traditional strobes emit light that is notably warmer than the cooler blue light found in the ocean. The Ambient Blue Filter is designed to harmonize the color temperature of the strobe with the surrounding water, ensuring it blends seamlessly with the ambient light. When using the Ambient Blue Filter, the Backscatter Hybrid Flash HF-1 illuminates shadows in the image without introducing any additional color to the scene. Optimized for depths ranging from 10 to 35 feet, the Ambient Blue Filter is ideal for shooting photography in various environments.

The use of warmer strobe light can result in two distinct color temperatures within the scene. However, when employing the Ambient Blue Filter, both the strobe and the ambient light blend seamlessly into a single unified color.

The Ambient Blue Filter is effective even in macro shots like this jawfish capture, where intense reflective ambient light from the sand intersects with the strobe light. By ensuring both the ambient light and the strobe light share the same color, they seamlessly merge, achieving a more authentic appearance.
