Top Reddit comments about Camera Lens Color Correction and Compensation Filters:

General GoPro advice:

  • In saltwater (blue water color) you need a red filter. Here's your cheapest option: http://www.amazon.com/Polar-Pro-Filter-GoPro-Version-Acrylic-Accessory/dp/B00B2PHSIY
  • In freshwater/lakes (green water color) you need a magenta colored filter.

    And, some specific advice for your Hero3 Silver:

  • 30FPS will look better than 60FPS because the camera will get more light exposure per frame, improving your image. If you are planning a dive deeper than ~50ft or so in all but crystal clear waters with bright sun, I would shoot in 30fps.
  • For the same reason as the above, you may get a better exposure shooting in 720p than in 1080p. The Black Edition cameras and newer 3+/4 cameras are better at these higher resolutions in low light conditions, due to a better sensor and other improvements.

u/kong1126 - for white balance, find someone with a white shirt (or wear one yourself), and hit the manual WB button before every shot.

If that's too much hassle, get a $10 white balance calibration card and wear it around your neck.

And, hopefully, your camera has a servo zoom speed adjustment? If so, use it.

If not, a zoom lever can help with executing smooth manual zooms . They're only about $13 [Referral Links].

Hope this is helpful and good luck with your internship!

u/bacon_slice · 3 pointsr/scuba

You're not going to get much for $200. I'd recommend a used GoPro Hero 5 black, or if you can negotiate, get a Hero 6 black. The 6 has better stabilization and white balance. Then, get this case and red filter:

u/ImLyno · 1 pointr/scuba

I got one similar to this

Worked great for me, here's some screen grabs so you get an idea of what it's like, I chose to just leave it on at all times rather than risk taking it off for topside and loosing it

Above Water

Shallow Water (around 10 metres)

Deeper water (around 20 metres)

Deeperer water (around 32 metres)

All images are RAW so with a bit of colour correction they look quite nice, think my next investment will be a nice dive light to go with it.

u/gfixler · 3 pointsr/photography

Back in the old days they'd put vasline on the lens. This was done in film a lot, especially for shooting glamorous shots of women with that slightly out-of-focus look. Here's a gallery showing some of the look. Another trick photographers use to get in-camera flare on the highlights like that, and a soft focus seen in your shots is a soft-focus filter. Here's one. I have a calumet one around here somewhere. It's a clear plastic square that mounts in a housing in front of the lens. It's slightly frosted looking. Bright spots flare a bit to give a bit of glow, and bright sections of skin do this a bit as well. It also means that even when you're in-focus, everything is just a whisker out of focus, hiding blemishes and smoothing skin tones. People make them in various ways. Too, they tend to kill black areas by allowing light to diffuse over them, and will kind of lightly wash out the contrast in a shot. You can also change exposure either in the camera or when developing the negatives or prints to raise the blacks to gray and blow out the whites a bit.

u/Super_Karamazov_Bros · 2 pointsr/scuba

Very well. Try this one for the Hero6. As you can see in the link from my original comment, the filters are depth rated and get redder and redder the deeper you go;ideally you would switch between them. Realistically, I used the 20-55 ft one on the drawstring, 100% of the time, and popped it off for surface recording and night dives. Also highly recommend some type of handle/rod so you can curl the camera around some formations or get into crevices.

u/secutores · 2 pointsr/gopro

Or, even simpler. Use a filter. Works like a champ.

u/UnrighteousFool · 1 pointr/gopro

Awesome video! A few things though

  1. You should use really use a red filter.
  2. How did you rig it to the chum?
  3. How long did you leave it down there?
u/jeffk42 · 1 pointr/analog

This filter is the standard blue and would work well for accentuating freckles and blemishes. It's a little dark, but a lighter blue wouldn't do what you want as well.

You can estimate the effect in photoshop. I did an image search and downloaded an example, and then turned half of it into a B&W with the blue channel. Here it is.

u/csguydn · 1 pointr/gopro

Do any GoPro Hero 3+ owners here have experience with the GoScope Reversible red filter?

u/[deleted] · 1 pointr/analog

Thanks! I'm looking at getting one of these for my Nikon L35AF: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00004ZC8X/

u/sanfran54 · 2 pointsr/AnalogCommunity

Yep, classic florescent light color temperature. A filter such as this do the trick.

u/lolmatt · 1 pointr/ReefTank

Crank your blues up all the way, have no white light at all, and cover the tank with an orange film like this:

u/jkkoverd · 1 pointr/photography

Does This mean it allows Ir to pass through or what? I need some clarification

u/prathammehta · 0 pointsr/scuba

Red light gets absorbed by the water. You need to get a red filter to compensate for this. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Kupton-Underwater-Waterproof-Correction-Housing/dp/B075WR3ZTQ?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_4

u/spellingerror · 2 pointsr/Dyslexia

These are the ones I use but they also have others including the full sheets.

>There is no specific wavelength for magenta so it isn't a colour. There have to be specific rules in science for what is a colour and what isn't.

I disagree. "Colour" is a perceptual phenomenon, under the realm of neurology and psychology, and the borders are largely determined by culture & language. Hungarians have 2 main words for what English speakers call reds, Russians have 2 words for blues, but Chinese & Japanese have a single character to cover blues & greens. So magenta is a valid color name if your culture says it is. That doesn't mean it must have a rigid formal definition.

Physical science (astronomy, physics, chemistry) has a better system than color names: specify a wavelength or frequency, or the interference pattern of multiple waves (accounting for phase). There's no confusion via cultural differences if you stick to that.

>Try and make a magenta filter

You can combine 2 filters for the appropriate wavelengths of red & blue, or you can just buy one.

u/mr_bijae · 1 pointr/gopro

I am doing some underwater stfuff as well. Here's a few things that I purchased:

the bobber

red snap on filter

go scope

And a shameless plug for my first tide pool video shot last weekend.

u/magic_giraffe · 1 pointr/BeautyGuruChat

It's a soft focus lens or lens filter, not the camera. There may be a post-production 'effect' but I don't work with video so I'm not sure on that. Here is a review for a Canon lens with softfocus feature. There are also soft focus filters for lenses, but I've heard they're a bit shit if you buy off-brand. There's also the ol' chapstick or petroleum jelly on a UV filter DIY method. Never worked with them myself though so YMMV.
