3 Steps to taking better underwater sea life pictures

By: Sydney Stephen

Get Close!!

Everything underwater appears 1/3 closer than it actually is so get close.

Because water strips away features the closer you get the more detail you get as well.

Use A flash!

Use a flash especially if your shooting deeper than 5ft below sea level.

The flash reflects light on the object/sea creature giving it more detail because the water strips the color and takes away detail.

Most flashes only work if you are 2-3ft up close, going back to the rule get close!!!

Let it come to you!

Let the sea life come to you.

Find a good spot/backdrop and wait for the sea life to come your way.

Find bright and colorful spots with coral etc.

Equipment!

Make sure you have a good quality camera with a proper protective waterproof shell casing for your camera.

Make sure your camera has a good flash
