Is underwater photography difficult? Actually, no—at least, not to any significant degree when compared with any other discipline of photography.

It is the sum of all its parts, as well as mastering the whole, which can appear confusing at times.
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 topic is all about the use of black in color images.
