Underwater photos have become one of the most creative ways to record vacations and outings in places with water attractions. But, just like on dry land, it is necessary to pay attention to some points so that the images come out as expected
.
So, if you want to take advantage of the sunny days and the pool to update your social media feed with this type of image, check out some tips that we have separated for taking photos in the water.
Have adequate equipment
Whether with a cell phone or a professional camera, it is necessary to have adequate equipment for the production of these images, that is: waterproof. Nowadays, it is easy to find waterproof bags for cameras and cell phones
.
There are some devices that are already sold with water protection, such as action cameras. There is even the possibility of using other devices to take your selfies underwater with these camera models, such as remote shutter
buttons.
Attention to focus
One of the hardest things to achieve when taking pictures in water is focus. To take a sharp photo, avoid using the zoom. Try to get closer to the object or person, and fill in all the space in the image. So it will be easier to get a sharp image
.
Use the flash
It is common for the color blue to predominate in underwater photos, because the water tone, added to other factors, absorbs warm colors, such as yellow, red and orange. To prevent this from happening or, at least, to be alleviated, the use of the flash is recommended
.
As the light can vary in the water, not least because of the depth, it is recommended to test the use of the flash before actually starting to capture the images. See when it is most appropriate to use the function.
Be careful with the angles
Knowing how to take pictures underwater while capturing details is almost a challenge. Because of the poor lighting, in order to be able to record these details, it is important to create angles where no shadow is formed
.
To do this, it is recommended to take a photo from the front or from the bottom up. That way, there will be no shadow formation on the object or person being photographed and, thus, all the details will be more visible in the images
. Be agile
Staying in the same position for a certain amount of time underwater can be very difficult and even uncomfortable in the case of autonomous diving. To prevent this from happening, taking underwater photos with your cell phone may be the
best option.
For those who don't have much practice taking photos in this type of scenario, a tip is to shoot what you would like to photograph. Thus, it is possible to capture frames and have a more accurate image than if you just captured it with a click
.
Have patience
It's not an easy task to take pictures underwater. The scenery changes very quickly, there are many external factors that can negatively influence the capture of the images and, in addition, everything is very different, such as clothes
.
So, if you want to take the perfect shot of a part of your vacation on the water, be patient. Make several clicks, study the environments and angles, research the best poses, and put it all into practice
. Use photo editors
Taking pictures underwater with a cell phone or any other type of camera requires editing, generally due to the lighting, which is not favorable in this scenario. Then, explore the image editors thoroughly, use filters, and make the necessary adjustments to make your photo even more incredible!
Pools are more favorable
Pools are more favorable for capturing underwater photos. That's because it's not as deep, and it's possible to use weighted belts to keep it on the ground more easily. Another positive point is that there are hardly any factors that could hinder your photo, such as algae,
for example.
The movement of water is also not as intense as in the sea. With this, there are more chances of images coming out sharper without so much work. Fresh water, in fact, damages photography devices much less than salt water
