Reviewer . Martin Edge has developed his writing skills over the years, and we recommend this volume for anyone pursuing the now-less-than black art of underwater photography, especially with digital image-gathering in mind." DIVE MAGAZINE PUBLICATION OF THE YEAR "let us just say that this is THE best underwater photo technique book on the market PERIOD!" - DIVER magazine "Martin gives valuable practical advice in this compelling, valuable reference." Stephen Frink, Rodale's Scuba Diving All the information is very accessible and the advice is practical, comprehensive, very up-to-date and to the point - no padding - I wish more books were written like this. "Packed with beautiful images and an easy-to read style, this book is both educational and inspirational."Scuba Diving MagazinePraise for th
Great buy This book covers photography fundamentals, and their applications to underwater techniques. It recommends equipment, and it relates information to both SLR and point-and-shoot cameras. This book is full of content, but very interesting reading (I'm not a reader myself, but found myself going through half a book in one sittingadding bookmarks, etc).This is the second underwater photography book I've purchased, and this one really does deserve 5 stars. The material walks you through going from basic photography concepts for the beginner, to great tips and tricks for more advanced photographers.The book provides some quick po. Steve, just Steve said Isn't this about making things look good?. Good information poorly presented. If I still had the eyesight I did "Isn't this about making things look good?" according to Steve, just Steve. Good information poorly presented. If I still had the eyesight I did 20 years ago I might have a different opinion, but it's almost as if they deliberately made it hard to read. There's a huge margin at the outer edge of the page, with a tiny font to present the text on perhaps 70% of the available width. Maybe it's a 10 point font, but a 12 point font could have been used and the book could still be smaller. The picture captions are even worse, done in a finer font with pale ink. It doesn't help that the paper is slightly glossy, though that's better for the pictures.. 0 years ago I might have a different opinion, but it's almost as if they deliberately made it hard to read.

Well Written and Comprehensive Book On Underwater Photography A well written book which covers all aspects of underwater photography. While I disagree with a few points make by the author, it is notable that he conflicts with himself in a few small passages thus stating viewpoints I believe match current practice. Notable is the author strongly discourages use of TTL for strobe photography, but in a small passage cites if your system can use TTL then the results can be rewarding. I teach TTL when possible. It isn't like we are living in a pre-1970 world at this junctureIn short this is the book I recommend to my students.
