Reply To: April 2026 challenge topic is Using Backlighting for Subject Separation

[Nick]

This photo was taken at Malataply, a dive site on the Dauin coast (within walking distance of our home), here in the Philippines. My camera is a Canon G7xiii, and I used a Bluewater 7.5 diopter. The only light was a single Mini Gear torch with a coloured filter, camera settings were, ISO 250, f5.6, 1/250. There were a lot of particles in the water so I was able to (more by good luck than any skill on my part) able to make use of the backscatter to hopefully add some atmosphere to the image.
