It’s a bit like taking a photograph through your window at home. First of all
the window needs to be as clean as possible. Even with a clean window you may
notice some reflection, but the closer you hold the camera lens to the window,
the less the reflection. Similarly our cases give best results with the lens
window tight against the camera lens.
Try to avoid flash photography but if you do need to use the flash make sure
that the case is tight over the flash so the light doesn’t reflect back into the
lens.
Keep the lens window clean and avoid scratching it. Try to look after it the
same way you look after your camera lens.
It takes a bit of practice and a little luck to get really good underwater
photos – please don’t think that every shot you take is going to make the cover
of SportDiver magazine.
You need strong sunshine and clear water. The middle of the day is best, when
the sun is at its highest.
Best results will be just below the surface. Light disappears quickly as you go
deeper, as do colors (one of the advantages of digital cameras is that you can
retouch your photos afterwards to replace colors lost underwater).
Even clean water is full of microorganisms and other particles. The less water
between you and your subject, the less difference this will make and therefore
the clearer your shots are likely to be. Wide lens and close up is the secret.
