Page 16: Great Pictures Made Easy
XIII. Great pictures made easy There are plenty of challenges that photographers face in the underwater world. Please take some time to review SeaLife’s online guide called Great Pictures Made Easy by visiting www.sealife-cameras.com. The guide is located under the Technical Support menu. - Page 17 SeaLife underwater light in combination with the SeaLife flash, limit your shooting distance to 6 ft (1.8m). 4 ft (1.2m) is ideal. If you are using the SeaLife light only, limit your shooting distance to 2 ft (60cm) to 3ft . Closer shooting distances result in better pictures and video.
- Page 18 Control your buoyancy Get your buoyancy under control and set yourself up in the ideal position before taking a picture or shooting video. This allows you to hold the camera steady and control your shooting distance. Good buoyancy control will help you avoid stirring up the sandy bottom which will cloud-up the water and cause backscatter.
- Page 19 Compose a good picture Avoid shooting down on the subject from above. Shooting down usually results in a poor contrast because the subject blends into the background. Try and shoot upwards from below the subject so you get a blue water background and better contrast. Get the entire subject into your picture frame.
