When can I take diving photos?

Many people want to take photos during the semester when they want to learn to dive. If they want to take pictures in diving, they must first learn diving well and be particularly skilled. Moreover, they must have a lot of skills when learning diving photography. So when can they dive with their cameras?

1, record your diving time.

Take time to practice diving, but don't go into the water with a camera first, which will help you naturally complete the key underwater skills. For example, BCD, which hand do you use to release air? Can you grab the pressure gauge instead of fiddling with it? Can you estimate your remaining air before checking the pressure gauge? It is important to practice these skills, so that you can be relatively safe when you are patting around excitedly with your camera.

2, master the basic technology

Excellent neutral buoyancy, body posture and avoiding hand control are also key skills. The last thing you want to do is to take pictures, instead of bumping into beautiful corals and ruining decades of fragile growth. Controlling your body posture will also help you take better photos and videos. This is because it takes a lot of time to wander in the same position. After careful design and composition, the photos are beautiful. Video is more challenging because you need complete stability to record stable material.

Try diving with your knees bent at a 90-degree angle and your fins parallel to your body. Frogs kick their legs and slowly move forward, rotate and even retreat. Not only can you control the position of the lens well, but you won't kick up the sand at the bottom of the water, making it easier for you to find tiny creatures hidden in the rocks. Your potential partner will also thank you for your rich experience.

Step 3 start with a small camera

Smaller sports cameras are famous for their affordable prices and excellent image quality. If you often dive and really want to make underwater photography and video recording a hobby, please use a moderate camera first, and then put in the lighting and arm clamp system. Your wallet will also thank you very much! When you start upgrading your camera, lighting and boom systems can also be used for new equipment.

Step 4 immerse yourself in it

Like most hobbies, you will learn more skills by shooting as much as possible. Find a resort or accommodation with resident photography professionals, or join a professional photography studio, and you can quickly improve your photography skills within 7- 10 days.

Please write down your favorite settings and skills at the end of the holiday, so please read and practice carefully before your next trip to avoid wasting valuable diving time to reset your camera.
