The behind the scenes photo shows multiple lights facing the water. I ended up not using those lights at all. I originally wanted light rays coming through the water, but the globe light was so overpower and since I wasn't using snoots on my other lights, the rays weren't working. The final photo only used one light, and its in the globe.

So.. how I did this photo.. well, if you look at the behind the scenes, its pretty self explanatory.. I think. Pretty much, I stuck a white ball/globe (same globe from my 365 photo a couple days ago) underwater. The globe is attached to a light. And I took the photo underwater. This image is flipped, so the reflection you see / ripples, is the underside of the top of the water.

Lights triggered with RadioPopper JrX. Underwater case used was the DiCAPac dslr underwater case.
