Description
Having immersed themselves in the digital domain (due in part to environmental concerns over film processing), Oregon photojournalists offer guidance for those ready to take the plunge. Pointing out that underwater photographers by default go digital when film images are converted to digital files, the Drafahls discuss challenges of underwater photo shooting, equipment needs, menu controls, and dive preparation. They address animal interaction ethics; photographing fish, reefs, and even oneself; and caring for and traveling with camera equipment. Web resources are listed.
