How to do all of that! wait bro maybe it is not easy but it is possible to be achieved in less than 6 months , we will talk now about how to start to learn underwater photography , and be one of the best Sydney underwater photography specialists.
Equipment You can use a lot of camera types like compact, DSLR and mirror less cameras.
Compact From my point of view, one of the popular compact cameras is Canon G7 X Mark II, and there are also Sony Rx-100 II, Canon G16, Olympus TG-4, there is also good choices like canon s95, canon s100, Olympus XZ-1, Canon s110 and Canon s120.
DSLR The most popular cameras are Nikon and canon, and there is a lot of kinds I can’t mention them all here but the “D” series of Nikon and canon 7D are the most popular choices maybe little expensive but has lots of options.
Mirror-less Also known as micro four thirds cameras, the best choices are Olympus E-M1, Panasonic GH4 and Panasonic GX8, there is a lot of other choices like Olympus E-PL3 E-PL5 E-PM1 E-M5 and Panasonic GF2 GX1 GX7 and a lot of other choices.
So you need to buy the equipment needed and search for the proper accessories you need and you are 25% ready to be an underwater photographer.
SCUBA You will need to learn scuba diving before you start to do photography, so you need to book any course by professional Scuba divers to have the scuba certificate and be able to shoot amazing photographs, so I recommend booking in Abyss diving centre, Dive centre manly or frog dive centre.
After you take the courses it will take like one month maximum you will be 50% ready.
Creativity You will need to practice diving and photography daily and try to be creative and innovative in the way you hold the camera, you will need to have some local photography courses that will bring to you the basics and you will be able to take stunning shot, and by the time you will find yourself like you have never imagined you would, you will be professional photographer and 75% ready to be that underwater photographer that you really wanted to be.
Photoshop The last step to be ready is to learn adobe photoshop, any version you want, you can learn freely from web or YouTube, also adobe itself has videos for using Photoshop, so once you master all of this you will be 100% ready to be placed in the underwater photography experts.
