Master Guide to Digital Underwater Photo graphy, Jack & Sue Drafahl
you bought a digital underwater camera, but are you getting the best out of it? Master Guide to Digital Underwater Photography explains in simple terms how to get great pictures. It covers problems encountered by divers with a camera under water, and discusses the difference between shooting electronically and on film.
Jack and Sue Drafahl explain the components of a digital camera and what the menu controls are all about. They go on to cover photography both by available light and with flash, wide-angle photography and close-ups, both macro and super-macro. Composition is dwelt on, and there are tips for travelling with your camera. It's a complete underwater photography course!
So you've taken lots of lovely underwater photographs. What will you do next? Whether you shot electronically or on film, your pictures will need to be digitised if they are going to proceed any further. Digital Imaging for the Underwater Photographer, written by the same couple, covers the process from input to output, which includes scanning film, digital image enhancement techniques and permanent storage.
It covers a lot of what you can do using Photo-shop, and things you may not have considered, such as colour-balancing your monitor. Not only that, but it's written in a language I can understand! Engrossing.
