Underwater Photography: The Wonders Under the Sea by Colin

Hartness http://www.asaphotography.com



The world of photography is an amazing one. Its been with us

for quite a while now but it is constantly changing. Cameras are

changing and improving. Methods of developing are changing and

improving as well. We have digital cameras that allow people to

take a view of their pictures immediately without traditional

developing. Another change in the world of photography is

underwater photography.



What do you think brings us those great shots of saltwater fish

and movies that film in the ocean and under the sea? What about

shots taken in swimming pools? You see those in the movies a lot

but may not have thought about how they take those pictures and

videos.



You probably never thought about it because for a long time

underwater photography was not really an option for everyday

people. But now it is not just an option, its really easy to

achieve.



What is Underwater Photography?

Underwater photography is as the name implies photos that are

taken under water. This is pretty interesting since early

cameras could not function if wet. But as people started

discovering the wonders under the sea, they wanted to be able to

share that with others or even just to prove what they actually

saw. So we began creating cameras that could work under water.



It is no surprise that underwater photography is a favorite

pastime for scuba divers. The idea could have come from those

few people that were able to experience the joys and beauty of

underwater life and a desire to share that beauty with others.



There are many different occasions where people use underwater

photography. As we mentioned earlier, underwater photography is

used in Hollywood for movies. You have probably also seen it

used on documentaries and national geographic type programs

about underwater life.



But it is still most commonly used by divers. There are many

websites dedicated to all the ins and outs of underwater

photography; which cameras and lenses are best, which film to

use, and much more can be found on these sites.



How to Take Underwater Photography



Equipment is an important factor in taking great underwater

photography. Of course you will need an underwater camera but

there is more than just that.



You can take some amazing pictures using underwater photography.

There are now even disposable use underwater cameras and you can

take them on vacation with you and get that great underwater

look. Even an amateur can do it. Disposable underwater cameras

can typically be developed at your local Wal-Mart or other film

developing center. You can also purchase underwater cameras for

more of a price but they last whenever you need one. Some people

find this more economical than disposables, especially if they

want to take these pictures often.



Just like other venues of photography, you will probably start

off with a cheaper and less advanced camera and work your way up

if you continue underwater photography for a long time. There

are two basics kinds of cameras; the underwater or waterproof

camera and the encased camera which is inside a housing that

protects it.



When taking pictures, you are going to need to be familiar with:



Your camera Your lens Your film Your flash There are different

things in your environment that will affect the quality of your

underwater photography. Such as:

- Depth of water and transparency of water - Light - The angle

of the sunlight on the top of the water - The backscatter -

These are some things to help you get started in the world of

underwater photography. If you are lucky enough to be swimming

in the sea, you should get some proof to share with others.
