STEPHEN’S TIP 3: CHOOSE THE RIGHT SUBJECT

Because the best results will be obtained when working close, there is a limited universe of subjects possible with these cameras. With the normal lens on a SeaLife digital camera a full-figure shot of divers must be taken from eight to 10 feet away, making the shot inevitably mono- chromatic blue. Applying the “get close” axiom, a head-and-shoulders shot taken from three feet away will be better. Or, add the Wide Angle lens to photograph large subjects from a near distance. The normal lens is usually good for fish portraits, whereas the wide angle lens helps for large marine life such as dolphins, reef scenes, and photographs of your dive buddy.
