Your skill as a photographer will take a step forward if you chose to go beneath the waves and explore using an underwater digital camera. We've all seen pictures of the stark beauty found in the sea and in other areas where the clear water opens a whole new world to taking photographs.  The reality is that it is very doable and you will use the same photography skills that you use on dry land with some adjustment for the clarity of the water.

Underwater photography has changed significantly over the last two decades due primarily to advances in technology. In the nineties we saw cameras hit the market that had water resistant lenses followed by waterproof cameras that allowed the amateur photographer to shoot undersea marine life. By the year 2000 we saw a quantum shift in the paradigm of photography when everthing started to go digital.

What did this mean? It meant that the hobby photographer could take pictures (and sometimes really good pictures), get an immediate result, an not be tied to film development and waiting for the outcome. Part of the fun of using the latest underwater digital cameras is that the operational programming is so good for the new advance features that it makes the cameras easy to use and to get great results. Features such as long battery life, enhanced flash photography, automatically adjustable f-stop and exposure times make using them a breeze.

Underwater photography is now a singular segment warranting its own special techniques, equipment and group of professionals. Apart from naturalists and botanists studying underwater plant species and animal-life, even historians studying wrecks and anthropologists studying life-forms and people giving birth underwater etc are groups that have interest in underwater snapshots besides of course, scientists and biologists who photograph and study marine life.

To make sure your underwater photographs turn out well, remember these things:

Chose a basic digital camera that is designed to used underwater. Don't cover your dry land digital camera with plastic and expect it to perform underwater.  Underwater cameras come equipped with special parts that prevent it from getting damaged even when submerged in murky waters and still manage to give good shots in limited natural light, depending on their quality.

Follow the operation manual of the camera for the best results. Don't be one of those that avoids the manual and them complains about how poorly the camera performed (because you didn't know what you are doing).

Always remember that the deeper you go into the waters, the poorer light conditions you will have to face, so learn the techniques of underwater photography as best as you can to be able to use white (natural) light or some type of artificial ones to counter this issue.

You can avoid using zoom feature when taking shots underwater and turn off flash wherever possible so the quality of photos is higher and not blurry, which is what it tends to be when flash is used underwater. Always study the warranty information before you put your camera in potentially damaging conditions.  The warranty will spell out the conditions for use and for claims against the manufacturer.

If you have the opportunity it is a good idea to submerge the camera at the store where it was purchased to check for leaks. This way you can avoid going on that special trip and finding out that your camera doesn't work.
