Customer Reviews

Photographs alone are worth it

The photographic tips and lessons were helpful but what impressed me the most was the quality of the photographs. More than any other book on underwater photography I have read, I would like my underwater photographs to look like the ones contained in this book. In most other books on underwater photography I have read, by some of the most renowned photographers, although the text is helpful, the sample or example photos leave me thinking "Is this the best they can do?". Whereas in this book, the sample photographs are stunning, in composition, texture and sharpness - and are alone worth the price of the book.

Excellent comprehensive guide

I bought this book having just purchased a Sea & Sea Motormarine 11-EX for a 2 week dive holiday in the Red Sea. For someone coming from land photography, the book explains the different principals, theories and techniques of underwater photography very clearly with excellent visual guides. The proof of the success of the book was that office colleagues actually wanted to see my holiday photos.

Great guide for beginners to experts; Photography and video

I just started taking pictures underwater, and this is one of the best books I have been able to find. It explains everything from cleaning the camera, to setting up the picture, to the photographer's "mindset". I recommend this book to all underwater photographers because it covers all aspects of photography, and it is easy to understand for beginners.

An indispensable literature for the underwater photographer

I did not expect too much when I purchased this book. To my surprise, I found the insights it contained very practical and indispensable, as I read through it. In fact, I plan to read it all over again. It is full of very useful information. It think the quality of this book mirrors the other work done by the authors. I'm going to get a copy of their other books on marine adventures. I recommend it a 100%!
