6 Top Tips For Underwater Photography

Photographs that have been taken underwater stand out and make a bold statement when displayed in your home. If you have taken the images yourself and you’re waiting for your next day delivery canvas prints to be delivered your home to see the final products, we have put a quick guide together for the top tips for underwater photography for you to read in the meantime.

Let’s take a closer look at what the top tips are, below. 

Use Simple Gear To Begin With 

Top photographers all agree that you don’t need the most expensive equipment when you start underwater photography. All you need is a simple camera with manual settings and ensure that it has waterproof housing and that’s it! You don’t need to spend a fortune to capture some excellent images or to have fun taking underwater photographs! 

You Need The Right Lens 

It’s important that you have the right lens for what you are going to shoot, so having an idea of what you’re looking to capture before you set out is a good idea. For example, for larger subjects, you will require a wide angle lens and for small stuff, you will need a macro lens. This is because the distortion of the water means that the closer to the subject you are, the clearer the shot will be. Know what shot you want before getting in the water, so you can switch to the right lens for the shoot. 

Know The Settings Of Your Camera 

The settings that work best for you underwater as a photographer is a personal preference, but you should get to know the settings before you go under water. While some photographers tend to use shutter speed more, others set their settings to aperture. You will need to take the speed your subject will be moving at into consideration when choosing your settings. Not only this, but you will also need to think about your color settings too. 

Timing Is Everything 

Not only do you need to think about timing in terms of your subject, but your oxygen levels and diving capabilities too. When you are dealing with wildlife, whether it’s underwater or on dry ground, the framing and adjusting of your settings will always take up more time than you anticipated. 

Take Time To Learn About Your Subject 

Before you dive into the shoot, quite literally, you need to get to know your subjects and your setting. You will need to know the types of creatures there are beneath the surface, learn how they behave and if they will pose any risk to your safety. It’s important to remember that every animal will behave differently, with some being very shy and others not afraid to come up to you and see what is going on. 

Make Sure That You’re Comfortable 

As well as making sure you know your subject, it’s important that you don’t forget about yourself during the shoot. Ensure that you’re comfortable with the environment, how to use all the diving equipment, as well as your camera, and stay comfortable physically too. You will need to stay warm in the water, so you can stay underwater for longer and get the best pictures possible. Therefore, it’s recommended that you invest in an entire scuba kit and have lessons before diving in!

Hopefully these top tips will help you with your underwater photography. Remember to stay safe and that preparation is key, especially when it comes to moving subjects!

Luckily, there are holistic wellness products that can help make the motherhood journey easier!

Lost Empire Herbs stands out as a remarkable family venture led by three health-conscious brothers who share a profound dedication to a wholesome, active lifestyle. 

Their journey began with a modest kitchen table and the introduction of pine pollen, but it has since evolved into something truly remarkable, exceeding all expectations.😱

What truly sets Lost Empire Herbs apart is their extensive collective knowledge, derived from years of hands-on experience, unwavering commitment, and a willingness to explore new horizons. Driven by a genuine desire to enhance lives, they made a resolute decision to make the benefits of these exceptional herbs accessible to a wider audience. 

Their primary focus revolves around offering hormonal support, a vital consideration given the prevalence of endocrine-disrupting compounds in today's world, although their scope extends beyond this singular realm. 🌱 

I'm genuinely enthused about the prospect of trying out their products, eagerly anticipating the chance to personally experience the transformative effects of these wellness herbs. The brothers' evident passion and expertise have left me intrigued and eager to embark on a journey towards total wellness, guided by the offerings of Lost Empire Herbs.
