Technical requirements for underwater photography

Lead: Many couples will take some commemorative photo albums before getting married, some choose scenic spots, some choose rural nature, and some choose underwater photography. The following are the skills I shared about underwater photography, please refer to them!

1, underwater wedding photography requires high photographic equipment, so other photographic equipment, including cameras, must be waterproof.

2. underwater photography is very particular about shooting time. Generally, the best time to take wedding photos underwater is around noon. It is best to shoot underwater at sunny noon, because at this time, the sun is on the top, the sun shines almost vertically on the water surface, with little reflection and the strongest light in the water.

Therefore, when the weather is clear, it is advisable to choose an outdoor swimming pool. And if you have to choose an indoor swimming pool to shoot, in order to create a soft and charming underwater world under strong light, you have to spend some time choosing appropriate lighting treatment.

3. If the quality of finished products is high, the clarity of water quality is also critical. So let the photographer shoot before the launch. In addition, a large number of bubbles will be generated during the launching activities of newcomers, so photographers should avoid the generation of a large number of bubbles, because a large number of bubbles will affect the clarity of finished products, so photographers should shoot after the actions of newcomers tend to be stable.

But some newcomers may like to use big bubbles to create dreamy effects, so according to the needs of newcomers, photographers can also use underwater equipment to create big bubbles, or through post-PS.

4. Even if there are suspended particles in transparent water, the farther away from the subject, the worse the definition of the photo. So try to use a wide-angle lens and shoot close to the subject.

5. Try to avoid the camera shooting directly down, because it is smooth at this time, and the photos taken lack layering and contrast. The best shooting angle is equal to or lower than the subject. At this time, the illumination is side light or side backlight, and the photos taken have distinct layers and moderate contrast.
