VII. Great Underwater Pictures Made Easy
(cont’d)
Shoot many pictures of the same subject - if you don’t like
it, delete it later
One of the great advantages of digital cameras is that you can review
and delete pictures later, so shoot several pictures of the same subject.
One of the best ways to learn underwater photography is by comparing
your good pictures and bad pictures.
Use a Sea Dragon Underwater Photo/Video/Dive Light to
enhance color and brightness
Water filters out light and red/yellow colors resulting in darker, blue
images. The Dive and Snorkel modes will correct for lost colors, but
are only effective to a depth of about 60ft/18m, depending on available
sunlight and water visibility. The most effective way to compensate for
lost colors is by using a Sea Dragon Photo/Video/Dive light. The light
easily mounts to the bottom of the camera. The Flex-Connect system of
trays, grips, flexible arms and adapters can click together and apart in
seconds without tools, for compact travel. Two lights can be mounted
to the camera for wide angle illumination.
Pan very slowly or not at all
When recording video, keep the camera aimed steady at the subject.
Avoid making any sudden or jerky movements. If you pan the camera,
move it very, very slowly or you will get seasick watching it later.
A better way is to slowly move the camera off of the subject, stop
recording, change the angle or distance, then start the recording again.
