Backscatter Atom Flash IR Filter for remote underwater lighting
The Backscatter Atom Flash IR Filter is designed for underwater photography using remote strobe setups. It blocks visible light from the trigger flash and allows only the infrared signal to pass.
This keeps the trigger function active without visible trigger light appearing in the image. It is relevant in lighting setups where precise light placement is required.
Use for macro and wide-angle remote strobe photography
In underwater photography, remote strobes can be positioned away from the camera system. This allows lighting techniques such as backlighting, sidelighting and controlled illumination for macro subjects.
The IR filter prevents the trigger flash from adding visible light to the scene. This keeps the exposure limited to the strobes that are intentionally placed in position.
Technical function of the infrared control signal
The filter passes the optical control signal for triggering and power information. Remote strobes can respond to this signal without visible light output from the trigger source.
This helps reduce reflections from suspended particles and gives more control over contrast and subject separation underwater.
Compatibility and use
The Backscatter Atom Flash IR Filter is intended for use with the Backscatter Atom Flash in optical remote lighting configurations for underwater photography.

Frequently asked questions about the Backscatter Atom Flash IR Filter
Why use an IR filter in underwater remote strobe photography?
An IR filter blocks visible light from the trigger flash while allowing the infrared signal to pass. This maintains optical communication with remote strobes without adding visible light from the trigger source to the image.
What lighting setups are possible with remote strobes underwater?
Remote strobes support off-axis lighting, where the light source is positioned away from the lens axis. This enables techniques such as backlighting, sidelighting and cross-lighting, helping improve contrast, reduce illuminated particles and increase subject separation in macro and wide-angle photography.
