camera experiment
since I have been learning underwater photography, I have always left the camera on basically the same settings while I have gotten a handle on my weight and balance underwater. I have always used the “underwater photo” setting, with a few adjustments here and there to exposure as I go. I finally went “outside the box” and decided to try some different settings to see how they might affect my photos, and I was pleasantly surprised. Below you will see a few photos of a slender file fish up against some soft coral, a fish about 1 ½”-2″ in size. Note the photos below are of the same fish, same camera position, different settings.
Ultimately, I am happy with both photos. The second is taken with my normal underwater settings, while the first is taken with “aperture priority” in hopes of getting a sharper image. The two give very different effects, both of which I think are nice for different settings.
Taking a closer look, the aperture priority did give a crisper image, with a bit more detail.
The second image was still clear, but a little less detail when you zoom in closely.
Since experimenting, I have still left my camera primarily on the underwater photo settings. In general I like the blue of the ocean while bringing out the colors in the fish and coral, more similar to how I see it as I dive. I am excited to continue to play with the settings as I progress, however, to see what different effects I can achieve and what different elements I can bring out in the underwater world.
