Book Description

May 2000
Underwater photography is challenging, even in the age of autofocus and TTL cameras. The author is unique is presenting an in-depth explanation of concepts as they relate to making photographs underwater. This book illustrates these concepts with brilliant color photographs, each of which is accompanied by an explanation of exactly how it was accomplished. This book stresses basic knowledge needed to produce high quality images now and in the future. Both beginning and experienced underwater photographers will benefit from the presentation of practical suggestions and realistic solutions for making photographs with housed 35mm cameras, macro or wide angle lenses, and strobe lighting.

This book includes a glossary of important photographic terms as well as straightforward and comprehensive explanations of useful optical concepts, lenses, cameras, film and strobe lighting. It concludes with addresses, telephone contact numbers and internet URL's for a number of important equipment manufacturers, photography supply houses, and repair facilities that specialize in underwater equipment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great underwater photography handbook, October 28, 2000
By 
This review is from: Essentials of Underwater Photography (Hardcover)
Great reference book on essentials of underwater photography. Compact enough to take with you on your next photo dive in far away places. I especially enjoyed the quick look-up charts on filters, f-stop, strobes and films. Great for beginners, and for those of us that may need a refresher before going for a photo dive after a few years absence.

There is a great discussion on equiptment that is a must read before buying new underwater photographic gear. Beyond being a great reference, Mr. Jackson has supplied us with some wonderful photos (with settings). This is a great gift for the underwater enthusiast as well as yourself.

2.0 out of 5 stars A lot to read but not as much to see, June 27, 2005
This review is from: Essentials of Underwater Photography (Hardcover)
Photography improves as you see more pictures and read the different techniques behind them. Unfortunately the photos in this book (only 40 of them) are not the ones I would like to shoot or appreciate if I see in a magazine or in a competition. If the printing quality of the photos were better this could have been a better book.
