Adventures in Underwater Photography

"Just look at the world around you, right here on the ocean floor, such wonderful things surround you, What more is you lookin' for?" asks Sebastian in Disney's hit 'The Little Mermaid.' This is true for photographers, professional and amateur alike. With all the newest underwater digital camera technology available, what more could you want? If you are interested in photography, try an underwater digital camera for an underwater adventure!
Underwater photography existed before the advent of digital equipment. However, the advancement in technology has led to better quality photos, as well as more memory for more picture taking. This helps, considering the fact that you can't exactly change rolls of film in the middle of the ocean! Advances to lenses and housing units for underwater digital cameras have eliminated problems with distortion. Now the time is right to find a suitable underwater digital camera and have an adventure!
Naturally, what you intend to shoot with your underwater digital camera is up to you. The ocean offers many different settings, after all. Maybe you'd like an underwater photo safari, where you can take pictures of the various types of underwater wildlife in the area you choose to shoot in. Another good option is just taking pictures of the beautiful underwater scenery. One other great choice is to locate shipwrecks and explore them while shooting photographs. Any of these options will make for beautiful underwater digital photography.
Before you set off to some exotic locale, you need an underwater digital camera. For bargain hunters, the Vivitar Vivicam underwater digital camera is a steal! At around $70, you get bang for your buck! This camera incorporates 5.1 megapixels with an eight times zoom lens. You get other features, including 16 MB flash memory, a one and a half inch display screen, and year warranty. This small camera can easily go with you anywhere. For a photographer on a budget, it's a great option!
If the Vivicam is not for you, try the Sea & Sea DX-1G underwater digital camera sport kit. For superb resolution, this camera has a whopping 10 megapixels! It has 12x digital zoom. Other features include visual effect options to optimize photos, sound recording, and 26 MB of memory. Don't expect this kind of quality to come cheap; this camera will set you back about $1600!
There are many places in the world with amazing underwater locations for you to shoot. If scenery is what you want to photograph, try the Great Barrier Reef. It has over 1,600 miles of reef for you to shoot. Though it is produced by living organisms, it provides a background setting for amazing shots! Tread carefully though, human action can destroy the reef. You will encounter sea life here, though, so maybe you'll want that safari after all!
Another amazing setting for underwater photography is Bali. It is known for the abundance of underwater animals. Here you will find many fish, sharks, anemones, and even a newly named species of seahorse! The creatures are not Bali's only draw. For those sunken ship lovers, there are wrecks littered on the sea floor for you to visit as well. No matter what the topic of your mission, you will use your underwater digital camera a lot here.
With over seventy percent of the world covered in water, you'll find limitless opportunity for your underwater digital camera. Adventure and discovery are lurking in every corner, waiting for you to get photographing. Instead of "what are you lookin' for," what are you waiting for? by micheal kentag
