About Julian<\/strong><\/h2>\n
I started scuba diving by 2009, and became a PADI instructor by 2013. But I actually spend most of my diving\u00a0time on underwater photography. I started to use a Canon G15 compact camera for underwater photography by\u00a02012, and moved to Nikon D500 by 2017.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I mostly dive at the northeast coast of Taiwan. The underwater visibility is usually not good there, but it also provides nice habitats for small critters. And I always carry macro photography gear every dive there.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In the dive sites I’m familiar with, I can revisit the same subject multiple times. So that I can shoot it with different methods, including changing composition, strobe and torch positions, combination with ambient lights. And sometimes I can wait for special behavior from the critter.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I usually test and practice my camera gear at home, especially the strobe with snoot, which requires more practice and experiment. I also simulate underwater backgrounds with critters on a table for my experiments. It helps a lot when I need to take photos quickly in difficult situations underwater.<\/div>\n
