Shooting Underwater
•
Get as close as possible to your subject. For the best results, only
photograph subjects that are less than 6' (1.8m) away.
•
Be careful not to stir up sand or silt.
•
Photograph subjects straight on or at a slight upward angle.
•
If you err in exposure, it is better to have the image slightly
underexposed rather than overexposed. An overexposed image
is missing color information which cannot be adjusted in a photo
processing program. A slightly underexposed image has color
information that can be adjusted.
It is important to respect all living creatures underwater,
»
including people, marine life, and coral. Get as close as you
can to your subjects when taking a photograph, but never
touch or disturb the marine life.
