Photo Tips Cont.

4. Underwater flash is used to restore the warmer colors filtered out by the water as well as to illuminate the subject. When photographing underwater, set the camera to use flash on every shot. If the camera’s flash is set to AUTO and the sun is behind your subject, the camera may see enough light that it does not fire the flash. With the sun behind the subject the subject is shaded (dark) and needs flash for a good exposure.

5. Since opinions vary on what is the correct exposure you may want to adjust your camera for what you like exposure wise. Many cameras allow you to adjust both available light and flash exposure with an EV control.

6. Many photographers transfer their images to the computer where they can fine tune the appearance of the image. Many of the image manipulation programs make you think you can magically correct any image taken and make a good picture. One thing to remember when using image manipulation programs, if the image is overexposed much of the color is missing. If the color is missing you cannot adjust it. If images are underexposed some color and detail may be there, it is just dark and you can adjust it to some degree. So if you error in exposure it is better to have the image slightly underexposed than over exposed.
