Product Description

Product Description
Diving is a popular hobby that attracts more enthusiasts every year, and many divers are keen to record the wonders they see underwater. In this beautifully illustrated, practical guide, underwater photography gurus Larry and Denise Tackett draw on their years of experience and learning to share everything the snorkeller and diver needs to know to capture the beautiful diversity of life beneath the sea. Underwater includes essential advice on choosing the right equipment, and in straightforward language discusses lighting, creative composition, making the most of a subject and macrophotography, showing how the basic principles of photography change when shooting underwater. Underwater includes practical exercises, reassuring advice, illuminating anecdote, and, of course, awe-inspiring photographs. Perfect for those new to underwater photography, it also offers both inspiration and up-to-date new techniques for the more advanced.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, an easy-to-read photography manual!, 19 May 2005
I had been searching for a year or so to find an underwater photography book. Those I had previously come across were either out of date, focussed on one model of camera, or were terribly technical, impossible to follow or understand and bored you silly.

I am not one to rush into a purchase yet I knew as soon as I flicked through this book up that it was the one I would buy. Clear, concise and in easily followed and understandable chapters with beautiful encouraging photography it carries advice from buying a camera, though methods of use (which are applicable to all camera types) without dwelling on one topic too long. Definately recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 8 Nov 2006
By Wreckdiver (England) - See all my reviews
This book goes into all the different methods of Underwater Photography and explains them in great detail. Close Focus Wide Angle, Fill-in, Ambient light only are just some. If you want to understand just how strobes work and how to achieve superb results underwater this book is a must. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very good book for beginers...., 8 Dec 2007
By Dennis Watts "dennis10825" (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this for my brother-in-law, he's a diver and i'm into photography. I was very impressed with the book, it's very clear and has a no nonsense approach. It also includes a lot of general photography advice that is equally relevent to land based photos. A very good book for a diver wanting to start from scratch, taking pictures underwater.
