Matters needing attention in underwater photography How to take underwater photography?

If you plan to snorkel, it's not worthwhile not to take pictures underwater. Today, Bian Xiao will tell you how to take pictures underwater and how to take pictures is the best. Now let's go and see how to take pictures together.

Attention! Swimming! Swimming! This is definitely the basic quality you must have to take pictures in the water! If you can't swim and there are no shortcuts, learn to swim first, otherwise it will be difficult to control your body calmly underwater, let alone your expression.

Dare! Open it! Eyes! If you want to take a picture of yourself in that beautiful water, you must dare to open your eyes. This kind of picture is best taken in a fresh water swimming pool, but it is super uncomfortable to open your eyes in the sea. It's uncomfortable to open your eyes in fresh water, but just get used to it a little bit, just to take good pictures. Be sure to go out.

Choose! Clothes! Take it. -An elegant and layered skirt like this will look particularly good in water, preferably white, and it will be crystal clear in water. Of course, bikinis should be worn with confidence, which proves that underwater photos are slim.

The whole! The reason! All right! Boss! Send! -If you want to photograph your hair flowing, you'd better swim forward for a short time, or by the pool, pedal the pool and let your whole body swim forward, so that your hair can swing backwards, and don't fail like me. There is also the direction of the body as far as possible to tilt upwards, so it is best to go deeper first, and then float upwards, which requires a lot of photographers and you! Try a few times!

Attention! Meaning! Light! Ok! Look, another failure. Look at the picture. Needless to say, the light has split the face in half.

If you just take photos by snorkeling, or take some beautiful photos in the pool, you don't need to use such a high-end guy. I recommend several devices.

1 waterproof shell. GoPro

GoPro specializes in "300 Years" of sports photography. With this waterproof shell, the functions of sports photography on the water are also taken into account. The picture quality is very clear, easy to operate, light and easy to carry. It is said that it can reach 60 meters underwater. Recommended as the first choice!

2. Small ant motion camera+waterproof shell

Xiaomi's ant camera also has a waterproof case ~ ~ and, alas, compared with GoPro, it's really hard to refuse just to play around. I have one, and the photo effect is really ok.

3. Olympus STYLUSTG-4

The official price of this waterproof digital camera is 2499. If it is a short-term tour, you can rent one on a treasure for less than 200 soft sister coins in 7 days. I rented this camera when I went to Madai before. When I went scuba diving, an American working in Hong Kong brought the same camera. He bought one for diving, and only after some communication did he know that I rented it from Taobao. Ha ha ha, he probably didn't expect Taobao in China to be so powerful.

How to shoot

1. The most important thing is to hold your breath and practice with your own basin before shooting, so that you can dive deeper and have more time to pose. For example, I held my breath for a short time, and I couldn't do many moves. I regret it.

2. Be bold and not afraid of water. When I first took off my swimsuit and went into the water, my heart thumped and I plunged into the sea, feeling suffocated. Generally, I can hold my breath for 20 seconds, and I came up ten seconds ago when I was afraid.

So it is important not to be afraid of water.

3. Be sure to work hard and pose various shapes underwater so as not to waste an underwater photo.

4. Can swim. Although this is not a necessary skill, it is definitely a bonus skill. Swimming will make you feel safe and move more naturally. But if there are professional photographers nearby, you may not be able to play the game. Because they will be by your side at any time, and they will appear if you have any discomfort. He will carry you underwater. You just have to pose.

But remember, you can't play games and there are no professionals around. Don't take off your bathing suit when taking pictures. After all, life is more important.

The photos in the sea are all taken along, which is quite difficult for me to complete.

5. Underwater shooting also requires high clothing. Mainly white and red, or bright colors. It can be a bikini or an elegant skirt. Like me, it has a red tail, and the photos taken are quite amazing.

I'm going to sell that custom-made skirt. Trust me privately if you need it. Hanging from idle fish.

6. You can get a hemispherical hair. Don't let long hair cover your face, but it also feels elegant. If you must let your hair loose, you can control it, otherwise you will look like a female ghost.

Experience 1. Underwater spotlight is very important. Try to take pictures when the sun is shining directly at noon, and the underwater world will be clear and shadowless.

2. Breathing: Learn to adjust your breathing underwater. Don't bulge your cheeks, but try to exhale while you can't see. In fact, it is no problem for normal people to hold back for more than ten or even dozens of seconds at a time. The important thing is not to panic.

3. expression: you can smile a little, which will increase the feeling of agility in the water. The reason is the same as breathing. Although you have changed from air to water, as long as you are not nervous.

4.

Open your eyes: Many people have asked before, is it difficult to open your eyes underwater? Actually, it's not difficult, as long as you dare. You can enter the water with your eyes closed and slowly open it when you get used to the underwater environment. People's eyeballs are in a humid and watery environment, so it's not impossible to open their eyes in the water ~ but two points should be reminded: 1)

You must only open your eyes in fresh water, and don't try it easily in seawater; 2)

Don't open your eyes underwater for a long time. The first time I took a photo underwater, I was in the water for too long (staying for more than an hour). When I landed, a white fog suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, and everything was hazy. This symptom lasted all day and didn't get better until I went to sleep. Therefore, we must take a warning.

5. Action: The main point of underwater photography is stretching, so as to show the feminine and charming side under the water.

6.

Clothing: elegant long skirt with big swing, which can spread gracefully underwater to create a more dreamy feeling. As for the color of the clothes, everything has a different feeling, white is smart and dreamy, red is enchanting, you can try everything ~

7. Hair: When entering the water, you need to pay attention to straightening your hair, otherwise it is easy to block your face in the water.

Experience sharing (1) Don't be afraid to open your eyes, or you won't be able to see every picture like a blind person (except seawater, which is spicy, but most people wear goggles in the sea).

(2) If you want to sink to the bottom of the water like the one below, you need to spit out all the gas in your stomach on the water (human potential is infinite, I feel that I finished spitting on the water, and it took me more than ten seconds to slowly sink to the bottom).

(3) I always thought that I should keep my mouth shut in the water. I didn't know I could open my mouth underwater until I finished filming, as long as I didn't inhale (I forgot about the seawater, I felt goose bumps).

(4) The most important thing is to choose the right clothes. Some clothes are quite common on land, but they are completely different after entering the water. For example, the one we chose, wrapped together, can't see anything at all, but the pleated skirt looks particularly good after it is scattered in the water ~ ~ ~

(5) Finally, I will tell you a little knowledge. Doing back movements like the one below in the water will definitely choke the water, hahahaha. At that time, I almost choked to death in order to complete this action, but after seeing the photos, I felt that everything was worth it ~ ~ ~
