Great Underwater Pictures Made Easy
Taking underwater pictures is much different that taking land pictures. Here are the
most important tips to taking great pictures underwater:
1. Crystal Clear water.
Crystal Clear water is essential for good underwater pictures. Remember the
human eye can see more detail than a camera. In other words, your eyes see
the water as being clearer than it actually is. Floating particles like algae, and silt
cause low visibility. Avoid stirring up the sandy bottom with your fins. These floating
particles cause small spots to appear in your picture, known as “backscatter.”
Always remember to limit your shooting distance to 1/10 of the water visibility. For
example, if the visibility is 60 feet (18 m), you should keep your shooting distance
to within 6 feet (1.8m); in 30 feet (9 m) visibility you should be no further than 3 feet
(90 cm) away from your subject.
2. Stay within the ideal shooting distance of 2 to 6 feet.
The ideal shooting distance is between 2 to 6 feet (0.6 to 1.8 meters). This distance
will result in detailed, colorful pictures. Remember that light does not travel very far
underwater, so the closer you are to your subject the more colorful the pictures will
be. For best most colorful pictures, we advise using the optional SeaLife External
(SL960) or Digital (SL960D) Flash.
3. Move calmly and control your buoyancy before taking a picture.
It is very hard to take good pictures when you are moving. Look around for great
picture opportunities. First position yourself at the best angle, and neutralize your
buoyancy. Second, use the LCD monitor to perfectly frame your subject, check
your shooting distance and keep the camera steady. Third, be calm and patient:
Sometimes you have to wait a little bit so the fish that were frightened away, come
back. Don’t chase the fish, let the fish come to you.
Always be in control of your buoyancy before taking pictures and observe
all safe-diving rules.
