Publisher Description
Underwater Photography is creatively rewarding but can be a technical challenge. Photos of the highest quality can be achieved with a DSLR camera, a pinch of technique and a dash of artistry. Using Your DSLR Underwater is structured to help you achieve underwater images that you will be proud of.
Interactive features are fully utilized with many rich media inclusions. Instead using single illustrations, many figures use "image galleries" with multiple examples. Many video demonstrations and tutorials are also included throughout the book to enhance the learning experience.
The book is divided into three parts. Part One covers cameras, housings, accessories, and the care and maintenance of UW photo gear. Part Two covers underwater photography techniques for getting the best results from your equipment. Part Three discusses digital image processing including color and exposure correction, the use of special effects filters, retouching methods, composites and panoramas, automation techniques and methods of presenting your images.
