Underwater Photogaphy: The Adventure Under Our Feet

76-underwater-fishAs you all know, Underwater Photography is obviously  underwater!

In Underwater photography they use water-proof cameras that can get clear pictures underwater. You need underwater camera equipment with specialized casings and flashes to take a camera underwater. One way you can take underwater pictures is in submarine, and you can scuba dive, or Snorkel. If you’re staying near the surface, you don’t need a camera that can handle the pressure of deep water. A compact digital camera that has been made for snorkeling will work fine. Typically these cameras are specified waterproof to 10 feet but will work a little deeper as well.

Light refraction is another thing that can affect underwater photography. The deeper you go, the less light you get. As you go deeper and deeper, red colors disappear first. The color extent  gets progressively narrower the deeper you dive.

When you dive into the water, you can take pictures of the animals, plants, and other life in the water.
