Great Underwater pictures made easy
Most people are familiar with taking pictures and videos on land,
but there are plenty of challenges that photographers face in the
underwater world. The following information summarizes the
basic principles of underwater photography.
Crystal clear water is essential for
good underwater pictures. Low
visibility, caused by fine particles
suspended in the water, will
diminish the picture and video
quality.
Limit your shooting distance to 1/10
of the water visibility. For example,
if the visibility is 30ft/10m, limit your
shooting distance to 3ft/1M. Closer
shooting distances result in better
pictures. Consider buying the Mini II
Wide Angle Lens (SL974), which allows
you to keep a closer shooting distance
and fit everything into the picture.
