4.0 out of 5 stars
Good, but requires some previous photography knowledge,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Art and Technique of Underwater Photography (Hardcover)
I bought this book in anticipation of getting my first underwater camera. I was very pleased with the quality of the book. The example photos are excellent and there are loads of useful tips throughout the text.My only criticism was that this book requires existing knowledge of photography techniques, such as aperture, shutter speed and exposure settings. It tries to introduce and explain these concepts but they do not have enough space dedicated. A novice, like myself, could not read these short explanations and then take a camera and be happy working out exposures and fiddling with the camera settings. I will be reading a more introductory book on land-based photography technique and then returning to this book to find out how to apply my knowledge in order to take quality underwater pictures.

Outstanding for advanced land photographers going U/W !,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Art and Technique of Underwater Photography (Hardcover)
Excellent "how to" guide covering technical and asthetic aspects of U/W photography. The author spends little time on basics and equipment, and plunges into artful considerations: composition, lighting, perspective, using models, etc. A Londoner who competes internationally in U/W Photography, Webster lays out ideas and creative techniques such as double exposures using macro first then wide angle, entering competions, beginner marketing, etc. A must for U/W housing shooters!

Beautifully illustrated book,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Art and Technique of Underwater Photography (Hardcover)
With over 250 photographs and illustrations, each with a fully detailled description on strobe and apperture settings. If you own a housed camera, this book is a must.

5.0 out of 5 stars
All-in-one for beginning as well as advanced photographers.,
By ancphat "ancphat" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Art and Technique of Underwater Photography (Hardcover)
As an amateur surface photographer, I truly enjoyed reading this book. It provides me comprehensive basic knowledge on the subject as well as more in-depth knowledge to build on down the road. The photos throughout the book greatly help convey the author's ideas and the readers to quickly grasp the concept. I recommend this book to anyone considering taking up underwater photography. Note: Since the book was written by a British author, at the beginning I was bit confused with the measuring system (meters instead of feet) and the currency (pounds instead of US dollars). To know the conversion rate at the start would be very helpful.
