Overview
Designed for accomplished underwater photographers, Advanced Underwater Photography moves beyond the basics, assuming the reader is already an experienced scuba diver. Opening with a quick overview of the skills readers need to go forward, including exposure, focus, subject selection and composition, Gates then explores the techniques professional photographers use to achieve more gripping images. By taking these skills to the next level, Gates provides the tools readers need to become better problem solvers and more mission-oriented in their approach. AUTHOR: Larry Gates began shooting underwater photography in 1992, when he took his first photograph while scuba diving in Lake Oahe near Pierre, South Dakota. Within a couple of years, he became a scuba instructor in Maui in the Hawaiian Islands. In 1994, Larry moved from Maui to Key Largo, Florida, where he teaches underwater photography. He is a PADI Master Instructor with credentials in teaching underwater photography, and he has done over 5000 and taught underwater photography to hundreds of individuals. He has photographed subjects in the Bahamas, the Turks and Caicos Islands, the Cayman Islands, Cozumel, Bonaire, and Belize, and he shares his experiences shooting in those locations with his readers and students.
