By Samantha Francis
Get creative with shots that feature scenes from above and below water.
The appeal of the underwater world lies in its endless mysteries. From the rich and boundless marine life to the freedom of feeling weightless in its depths.
As a diver or snorkeller, photography is a great way to immortalise the beauty of the sea. Here are five tips for stunning underwater photography for your next trip into the blue.
3. Illuminate The Scene
Whether you’re trying to get a beautiful wide-angled shot of the reef or a close-up photo of a moray eel, sufficient lighting is necessary.
In instances where there is insufficient lighting, get closer to your subject if you can and use an artificial light source.
Try: Knog Qudos Action Light ($172), a high-powered video light that is great for surfing after sunset, riding at midnight or diving to new depths.
