Tips for underwater photography

The page is dedicated to underwater photography and videography tips. We will include tips from our experience and ones we received from our customers covering all aspects of underwater photography.
  1. Do not rely on auto white balance , use manual white balance if possible or use an external light source such as a strobe or video light.
  2. When using a strobe or Video light , use auto white balance or set it to 5500-6500 color temperature.
  3. When using a strobe , do not point the strobe at the same angle as the cameras lens to avoid back scatter. Keep the strobe as far as possible from the housing.
  4. Take EV compensation down a notch for emphasizing blue water color and getting faster shutter speed.
  5. Use a wide angle lens when shooting wrecks to present a much stronger effect of the scene.
  6. Get as close as you can to the subject to reduce to minimum the color fading from the water.
  7. Use built in flash in manual to force the flash to fire and enhance the colors of the object. Make sure your photos are not over compensated by the flash.
  8. Secure the housing to your BCD or hand with a cable.
  9. Put silica gel packs inside the housing to absorb humidity and prevent fog on the port.
  10. Wash you housing with fresh water after every dive.
  11. Shoot come videos every now and then, you'll appreciate it when you try.
  12. Sometimes , adding a strobe can improve your photos more than upgrading your camera.
  13. Learn some photoshop post processing skills , even a few basic settings can improve your photos significantly.
  14. Use ambient light and turn off the flash in shallow water on a sunny day ( up to 15 feet ) , the sun will create beautiful colors and shades to your photos. Try to put the sun at your back while shooting.
