Thank you, to all you ScubaBoard members who provided editing input into the draft version of Basic Underwater Photography. It has just been published, in both a hard-copy version and as a PDF file download. The press release is available Basic Underwater Photography: Unique New Photo Manual Emphasizes Non-Technical Approach
Basic Underwater Photography emphasizes a non-technical photographic approach for divers who prefer enjoying their dives and taking photos without continually adjusting camera settings such as f-stops and shutter speeds. Instead, I stress the importance of positioning, stalking techniques, and using the correct accessories, such as an external flash and/or wide-angle lens, for particular shots.
As the manual's introduction says, "Perhaps those beautiful eagle rays and barracudas you shot appear small and unimpressive in your photos; the colorful sponges and corals you saw now look drab and featureless; the majority of your fish photos are just tails, others are blurry or grainy; and then your friend, trying to pick out a turtle through a swirling mass of backscatter, asks, were you taking photos in a snow storm?"
Do not despair! And do not feel you must spend mega-bucks to achieve good results!
Ordering information, and a Free Preview, are available on my website, Paul Mila Books
Good Shooting!
