Techniques For Underwater Photography
Underwater photography brings the underwater world to the surface. Some wonder wheat swimming in the ocean is like, but the don?t wish to learn how to dive. Underwater photographers have taken it upon themselves to bring the underwater world to those who don?t wish to dive or never had the chance. While all photography is an art the underwater world needs special skills to bring the highest quality alive.
Unlike wildlife photography the underwater world needs to be viewed up close. That is to say the marine life needs to be photographed closely. This is because of the water. The water refracts images often distorting them so the closer you are to your subject the less water you have between you an the subject. Underwater photography requires a great deal of patience. You subject may swim quickly by like the shark, whale or dolphin, or they may hide with in the coral popping out only when danger is not felt. Water holds particles, most usually living organisms called plankton because these particles often float by while you are trying to take a picture you can loose contrast and sharpness of the image.
