Digital Underwater Photography Tip: Get Close

In underwater photography, close is key. You need to be as close to your subject as possible. Because the water absorbs light, the further away from your subject you are, the less light you have to work with. Remember that the path of light from your strobe is twice the distance from you to your subject, because the light must travel from the strobe to the subject, then back to your camera sensor. So get close!

Stop by Husker Divers next time you're in the neighborhood and see the photos from this winter's trips to Statia and to St. Lucia! And if you have any questions about underwater photography, we'll be happy to help you.
