The left column shows the borehole with light provided by the Super Eight Light only. | The right column shows the borehole with light provided by both the camera lights and the Super Eight Light on. |
The first two images below have no glare, as indirect
lighting
rarely produces glare. The Super Eight Light which is located above the camera in these images is on and the "On Camera" lights are off. |
The first two images below show glare from suspended particles and the bore hole walls. "On camera" light produces glare, because as with most borehole cameras, the LED lights are next to the camera lens. This causes the light to reflect directly back into the camera lens. |

The images below show texture and depth since the off camera Super Eight light produces shadow as the light comes from behind the camera and bounces off the borehole walls. Indirect light is an important factor in photography and in obtaining images that are easier to understand. | The images below have a flat appearance with little texture, since there is no shadow. Most of the light comes from the "On Camera" lights, which are very close to the camera lens. |
