 3 Steps to taking better underwater sea life pictures By: Sydney Stephen

Get Close!!  Everything underwater appears 1/3 closer than it actually is so get close.  Because water strips away features the closer you get the more detail you get as well.

Use A flash!  Use a flash especially if your shooting deeper than 5ft below sea level.  The flash reflects light on the object/sea creature giving it more detail because the water strips the color and takes away detail.  Most flashes only work if you are 2-3ft up close, going back to the rule get close!!!

Let it come to you!  Let the sea life come to you.  Find a good spot/backdrop and wait for the sea life to come your way.  Find bright and colorful spots with coral etc.

Equipment!  Make sure you have a good quality camera with a proper protective waterproof shell casing for your camera.  Make sure your camera has a good flash

Hope you enjoyed!  Hope you learned something new about shooting underwater sea life or what ever you wish to take photographs underwater of.
