Photographs alone are worth it,
By rcharlton "rcharlton" (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Underwater Photography Handbook (Hardcover)
The photographic tips and lessons were helpful but what impressed me the most was the quality of the photographs. More than any other book on underwater photography I have read, I would like my underwater photographs to look like the ones contained in this book. In most other books on underwater photography I have read, by some of the most renowned photographers, although the text is helpful, the sample or example photos leave me thinking "Is this the best they can do?". Whereas in this book, the sample photographs are stunning, in composition, texture and sharpness - and are alone worth the price of the book.

Good, but only for Nikonos?? not Sea and Sea or others cams?,
By
This review is from: The Underwater Photography Handbook (Hardcover)
Maybe for those people that buy Nikonos cameras this book is Ok, but what happenned with those who have Sea & Sea or others amphibians cameras?? This book only explain how to use Nikonos cameras and show tables with accessories of Nikonos, not others... In page 19: "For 90% of amateur photographers, the Nikonos system is probably the best choice" maybe this was true in past time, but I'm sure that now this words are wrong, because Sea and Sea or others good cameras are bests buys and testers choices... In generals contents of UW Photography this book explain very good from basics to professionals tips.

Excellent comprehensive guide,
By
This review is from: The Underwater Photography Handbook (Hardcover)
I bought this book having just purchased a Sea & Sea Motormarine 11-EX for a 2 week dive holiday in the Red Sea. For someone coming from land photography, the book explains the different principals, theories and techniques of underwater photography very clearly with excellent visual guides. The proof of the success of the book was that office colleagues actually wanted to see my holiday photos.
