Underwater Photography: Basic Principles, Equipment, Maintenance

Still photography and videography enable the diver to permanently capture and later share their experiences of the extraordinary beauty and diversity of the underwater realms. However, in order to produce memorable, high-quality images, it is vital that divers have a thorough understanding of photographic equipment and techniques. Divided into four sections - Introducing Underwater Photography, Still Photography, Videography and The Complete Photographer - this book is a comprehensive guide to understanding the basics of photography, choosing the right photographic equipment, making the best use of that equipment, and using underwater conditions to your best advantage.

Detailed tables and charts provide easy reference for correct exposure settings, while diagrams and comparative photographs illustrate technical points such as depth of field, bracketing, and how to avoid parallax error. Video postproduction is also covered.
