Underwater Photography Tips.
- Depth and transparency of the water. The deeper you go the less light is available and of course if the water is murky then not much can be seen.
- Light. Cameras usually function best when there is a lot of available light, should there is no adequate light then an alternative light source most commonly known as a camera flash should be used.
- Backscatter. When the flash or strobe light reflect back due to particles in the water, showing specks of light in the photo.
Don’t just scuba dive and keep all the beauty to yourself, make the most out of it and share what you see with others. Do underwater photography.
