Underwater Photography
Underwater
photography
is
very
tricky
and
presents
many
unique
challenges
before
you
produce
decent
photographs.
By
far
the
most
challenging
thing
to
get
right
is
colour
balance.
Water
absorbs
different
wavelengths
of
light
the
deeper
you
go
and
your
photos
will
appear
bluer
and
greener
with
greater
depth.
Fortunately
as
a
snorkeller
you
probably
won't
be
going
too
deep,
but
you
will
still
need
to
adjust
the
white
balance
by
adding
varying
amounts
of
red,
orange
or
yellow.
The
other
most
challenging
thing
is
movement;
not
only
will
you
be
trying
to
photograph
a
moving
subject
but
you
will
be
hand-holding
the
camera
while
being
moved
around
by
the
water
too.
It
requires
patience, practice and disappointment before you start taking good underwater photographs.
We
started
taking
photos
using
point-and-shoot
cameras
and
so
always
set
the
camera
white
balance
to
the
Underwater
setting.
We
have
now
progressed
to
the
Canon
G1X
Mk
II
and
always
shoot
using
RAW
so
that
we
can
best
adjust
the
white
balance
on
the
computer
later.
Even
when
taking
RAW
photos,
we
set
the
camera
white
balance
to
the
Underwater
setting
because
when
taking
video
the
camera
uses
this
white
balance
setting.
All
of
our
photos, RAW and JPEG, have been adjusted on a computer so that the true colours are presented.
