Underwater Photography: Part 2 ( 3 Original Photos from My Underwater Dreams Project )

Here are a few more photos from my first underwater photography project "Underwater Dreams".

As I mentioned in Part 1, they were ALL taken with a Fuji XP80 sport camera. With proper lighting (full sun) and calm, clear water, this camera does a great job giving me the base photos to work from and digitally enhance to create the final images.

This session took about 3 hours, from 11AM to 2PM, and required a lot of patience from me and the models with passing clouds and fabrics that floated freely in the currents. This second part of the session used a white netting material to act as a contrasting color for the blues. For these I used the "beach daylight" settings on the camera, NOT the "underwater" setting as you might think. That setting mutes out the skin tones and results in an overall blue-ish tint to the photos with splotchy shadow areas.

In the coming months as I get going here on Steemit I will make many of photos in my collections available for purchase. If you want to get future posts on when I make them available, be sure to follow me.

Stay tuned for more photos from this underwater session.
