Scuba Diving's photog of the week

As a photographer part of my own learning experience is sitting at Barnes and Nobles browsing through photography books. I look at lighting, angles, try to figure out which lense they used, etc. My quest for successful underwater photos is no different. Before heading to work this morning, I was browsing Scuba Diving Magazine's website. In their photography category they feature their photographer of the week. Awesome! Now I can hang out at home with my cup of Joe and not only wonder about the technical aspect of each shot, but read how they photogs did it. This week you can see Brazilian Technical Diver Fabio Amorim's photos. Each photo tells the dive site where the photo was shot, camera and settings used, and the photographers own description of the photo. Sometimes the photogs description is almost as important as the camera setting information. For this photo on the right, Amorim said that once he heard about the dive site he started thinking about how he would get the shot. While underwater photography is completely different from shooting on land, the approach to a good photo isn't. Amorim obviously plans out his shots quite well. Beautiful work!
