photo.net Underwater Photography Primer Sign In/Register • Search ● Classifieds ● Shop ● Travel ● Learn ● Equipment ● Forums ● Gallery ● Community Home : Learn : One Article Underwater Photography Primer by Philip Greenspun Underwater photography combines the challenges of (1) trying to make an aesthetic statement that hasn't been made by thousands of photographers who've dedicated decades of their life to the craft, with (2) trying to stay alive. The easiest way Get into submarine. Get out camera. Point. Shoot. Here are some examples from my 800' dive in the Cayman Islands. The second easiest way http://www.photo.net/underwater/primer (1 of 23)7/3/2005 2:18:13 AM
Underwater Photography Primer Snorkeling is much simpler than SCUBA diving. The key to snorkeling is to remember that the human body will always float. It just doesn't float high enough that you can breathe easily. However, if you add a few inches of extension to your mouth, your natural floating position will be more than sufficient for breathing. You can thus stay in the water for 8 hours without exerting any energy and wait for interesting subjects to drift or swim underneath. If you're staying near the surface, you don't need a camera that can handle the pressure of deep water. There are some point-and-shoot cameras that have been augmented for snorkeling. My favorite is the Nikon Action Touch. It has a very high quality 35/2.8 lens and autofocus above water. Underwater, you set the subject distance with a convenient dial. There is a nice big switch that turns the built-in flash on or off. The Action Touch sold for about $150 in the late 1980s. Nikon took it off the market and since then there haven't been any cameras like it. Basically the Japanese have decided that nobody is intelligent enough to manually focus a camera. So all the cheap underwater cameras are fixed focus underwater and I don't think any have nearly as high quality a lens or metering system as the Nikon. I exposed quite a bit of Fuji Velvia (ISO 50 slide film) in the Action Touch. Oh yes, if you're going to do this these days, you should probably look for a used Action Touch at one of the photo.net recommended retailers and pick up some ISO 100 slide film for sunny days and ISO 400 print film for cloudy days. Note that most underwater photographers use slide film despite its attendant narrow exposure tolerance. I think that is because prints can never convey the drama and brilliant colors of the underwater world. Here are some snapshots from my Action Touch: http://www.photo.net/underwater/primer (2 of 23)7/3/2005 2:18:13 AM
