Just for fun: colour changes underwater

[bedlam]

Here are some shots of a colour palate used for training divers.

First a shot above water, then at 6m, then at 6m with a flash that returns the colours (because the light isn't being filtered through lots of water).







Can someone fix my broken orange??? Cos I really need the extra visibility it gives me under the water!



As an aside, notice I left the macro focus on by mistake in the middle pic and how it is distorting the straight lines when used from further back. Never noticed the effect before because I guess I'm not photographing straight edges much

Interesting how quickly the red turns black.

Red is the first color to go underwater. I have been cut by coral at depth a few times. Your blood comes out green, its pretty freeky

Really is something Carl ! Amazing how that happens like that. Seems like
the yellow, blue, and black stay closest to how they are supposed to look.

Cool stuff ! ..Thanks very much for sharing !

Funny how we are led to believe that dive watches had orange dials as its "the last colour to change,underwater at depth". I have even quoted that fact/myth to people until a while back when our Paul mentioned the true 'last colour' underwater. Dont hold your breath guys,i cant remember what colour it is now Cheers Carl,we have now seen the myth busted by your pics

It don't mean shit if you got a good light. Short term luminosity is important. And a 21 watt HID.

I fricken hate those things, especially on night dives. Its not a "night dive" if you bring the sun with you! :-)
