Underwater Photography

Lawrence E. Mertens

Outstanding underwater pictures are now possible with recently improved equipment, material and techniques. The physical properties of water as a transmission medium and the problems they introduce are analyzed. By careful consideration of these factors in the choice of lens, emulsions, filters, supplemental lighting, pressurized cases, etc., high-performance systems can be obtained economically. Subjective considerations of the desired color balance are also explored.
