Under water photography!

Underwater Photography.

Under water photography is the process of taking photographs while under water. Under water photography is usually done whilst scuba diving, but also can be done whilst swimming or snorkeling too.

 With underwater photography you need to have special equipment, which is waterproof, as you don’t want your stuff to get damaged. It also has to be done with special techniques to get good photographs of the animals mostly fish and marine life. But underwater photography doesn’t just have to be animals, as you can take photos of people, landscapes such as ship wrecks or underwater caves.

 

This photo is an example of Underwater photography done with people:
