a.
Make sure that the wings of the BigEye Lens are positioned at an
angle that blocks the strobe output, as well as the sun. In order to
prevent the wings from unintentionally changing position, some
friction has been added, but rotating them can be easily done by
following a simple technique.
In order to rotate the wings, simply
hold them and push them against the housing when the BigEye
Lens is mounted on your housing lens port. At the same time,
rotate them around the lens, till they have reached the desired
position. Images in which the sun is captured can be usually taken
during mornings or afternoons, when the sun is not as strong as
during the middle of the day. In general, the sun will have a much
softer and successful effect during early and late hours of the day
and will also cause less of a flare.
b.
Make sure that the strobe is not positioned towards the lens.
When shooting a nearby subject, for instance, it is better to
position the strobe a little bit in front of the camera housing
rather than behind it (so the light doesn't reflect on the BigEye
Lens), or if you choose to position the strobe behind the camera
housing, make sure it's not pointed directly towards the lens, but
a little bit tilted towards the side.
