ART 247- Blog #11

Article: https://www.sportdiver.com/five-tips-to-get-started-in-underwater-photography

For this week's blog I decided to change it up a bit and find an article about underwater photography. Underwater photography sounds like a lot of fun, because you can capture pictures of things that you're not accustomed to seeing every day. I don't make it the ocean very often but hopefully one day I'll get the opportunity take photos underwater.

The article discusses 5 tips for beginner photographers to get started in underwater photography. The first and most important tip the article discusses is getting to know your camera better as well as become a good diver/swimmer. If you don't know how to swim/dive and you don't know how to use your camera effectively then you won't be able to capture the pictures that you want.

The article also suggests starting small with the amount of gear you carry. If you are swimming around with big, bulky gear then you won't be able to move quicker and get the shot you want. Another important tip is to approach the sea-life slowly because if you rush up on them to get the shot they will swim in the opposite direction. Lastly, the article suggests getting a underwater guide who will take you to the spots that have the best potential for photos.
