Free Diving

One of the most impressive and appealing people I've met in my life was an underwater camera man called Joseph. He, a lovely kind hearted Frenchman, glided straight through the water camera in hand, goggles on his face, wet suit tugging at his slim figure, but he had no air tank, no snorkel, just his lungs. And with just that he was able to stay under that water for what seemed like hours.

Of procedure it was just minutes, 5 or 6 minutes to be a dinky more accurate. A truly appealing feet to watch a human being do something that until you contemplate it you would swear is beyond a humans capacity. I mean the guy could blow air rings for gods sake. (Like smoke rings but rings of air under water) And with this the world of free-diving was opened up to me.

Now free-diving is not a new invention, in fact it is obviously the oldest form of human under water exploration. Before the invention of an breathing apparatus sea side cultures finding to feed themselves would have spear fisherman swimming to great depths and to even greater time limits to spear their food.

It is only recently that such acts have come to be more than a way to feed yourself, but a sport and tourist attraction.

Once trained they can swim uninhabited along side some of the most gorgeous creatures in the ocean.

The competitive nature of free-diving is someone else very new aspect on the scene. Free divers compete to descend to the lower and lower depths on a particular breathe, knowing all the while while their decent that ever meter they voyage down towards the depths will be someone else meter they'll have to ascend past before they can taste fresh air once again.

Scuba Diving - How to Get Started In Underwater Photography

While you are scuba diving, you are no doubt amazed by the charm and grace of the underwater world and wish to share it with your house and friends who you have not been able to convince to go with you as of yet. Or maybe you just want to capture photos of your experiences so that you can keep them for your own enjoyment. No matter the reason, most people have a great desire to begin learning underwater photography fairly early on in their scuba diving career.

If this sounds like you, you have likely already begun browsing your local scuba dive shops for tool and started reading up on articles and information published by underwater photography professionals. While you can find a lot of information in this way, a lot of it is technical and hard to follow. For this reason, the best way to learn how to take pictures underwater is to start taking them and then learn through trial and error.

Underwater Pictures

Your first underwater camera will likely be a disposable water-proof camera that works great for taking pictures in shallow depths. This will get you used to taking pictures underwater but is not ideal for taking photos in deep water. The next step up from this camera is the amphibious camera. This camera is small, lightweight, and ideal for starting underwater photography in deeper waters. You can also take a general land camera, house it, and outfit it for use in underwater photography. While this is the most high-priced option, this is the tool that produces the vivid, spectacular, photos featured in magazines. Anything tool you choose, two things that you cannot take underwater photos without are an external flashgun and interchangeable lenses.

Once you have your equipment, the best way to begin is to start taking pictures. Be sure to stock up on lots of film and take several shots of each subject. This way you can assess shots and learn from your own underwater photography mistakes. Here are a few tips to get you started:

Get close to your subject. One suspect why underwater photography is so appealing is that matter is suspended in the water between you and your subject. The flash reflects off of this material resulting in blurry, obstructed pictures.

Start photographing small objects first. This will allow you to preset your tool before you dive. Use a flashgun to furnish white light as monochromatic blue light is the only light that penetrates deeper water. Synthetic white light is vital in underwater photography for producing sharp, colorful images.

Position your flashgun correctly. Your flashgun should be positioned a good length from the lens axis to avoid reflection of light off of suspended matter otherwise called back scatter.

After you get a feel for underwater photography, you will find that you can of course learn as you go. Take lots of film as this is the cheapest component of underwater photography. assess shots, learn from your mistakes, and you will soon be wowing your friends and house with more than stories. You'll have the photos to back them up.
