The Diver Making Waves In The Photography World

Catalyst: Underwater Optics - How a combination of old and new technologies has solved the problem of underwater picture distortion.

Basic principles of physics dictate that light behaves differently underwater, an irritating phenomenon that always used to cause headaches for filmmakers attempting to shoot clear and undistorted images. However the work of Pawel Achtel changed all this.

Mark Horstman investigates how he did this.
