How to take wonderful photos under the swimming pool?

Underwater photography is more difficult than ordinary photography, but it also creates a brand-new shooting field for photos. How do models move and pose underwater? Through photography practice, this paper introduces the underwater portrait shooting skills of seven swimming pools, so that you can take beautiful photos.

1. Select the lens used for underwater photography to match the required image shooting requirements.

Before shooting underwater, you need to consider what kind of photos you need to take. According to the photos you want to take, don't change the lens after choosing the right lens, because if you want to change the lens while wearing the camera case or waterproof case, it will increase the risk of contact between the camera and the lens.

2. Consider the safety of people and cameras.

Even if the photo is taken in a swimming pool, if the model stays underwater for a long time, she may face cold or accidentally suffocate on the water. Photographers, models, cameras and lenses brought into the water should wear standard waterproof sleeves to prevent water from entering and damaging the camera, but if it is a sports camera, there is no such problem.

Clear and still water makes it easier to take pictures.

When taking pictures in the swimming pool, we should consider reducing the problem of water mixing, because most of the water in the swimming pool is clean enough to meet the requirements of shooting, but the water must be in a static state. Don't use the swimming pool with other people swimming next to it, because it will increase the difficulty of shooting. If you have a choice, you can shoot underwater when there are few people.

4. Set the relative shutter speed, ISO and aperture.

For underwater photography, you must also check the shutter speed, ISO.

And aperture, but it may be difficult to do so. Because there are more restrictions, you can try to start adjusting the aperture or shutter speed. In order to capture the movement rhythm of the model and provide a clear image, however, if the light is insufficient, ISO should be improved to make the image brighter, clearer and not blurred. It should be noted that these adjustments will also change according to the water depth.

5. Pay attention to the balance of light, because the color of light and underwater will also change from the original tone.

The color of underwater photography may not be very accurate, because the color will change when shooting through water medium, so it is very important to adjust the light balance. Pay attention to the color of the photo as much as possible, which will help to make the picture more realistic.

6. Take photos in bright sunlight to get the color closest to nature.

Choose to take photos in sunlight, because the light passing through the water will have higher intensity, and the photos taken underwater will be more eye-catching. If you take pictures in deep water, the light can still be refracted horizontally, which also depends on the style and concept of the picture.

7. Image editing, color correction and sharpening adjustment through post-processing.

The color obtained by underwater photography may not be very real. Therefore, the composition can be adjusted by post-processing tools when necessary, because such adjustment will make the picture look more beautiful and more realistic.
