Underwater photography is as the name implies; photos that are taken under water. This is pretty interesting since early cameras could not function if wet. But as people started discovering the wonders under the sea, they wanted to be able to share that with others, if even just to prove what they actually saw was real. So we began creating cameras that could work under water, and today the digital cameras that are waterproof are beyond amazing!

Underwater photography is especially a favorite pastime for scuba divers. But there are also many different occasions where people use underwater photography especially today in snapshots and videos used in Hollywood and on YouTube for movies. You have probably seen underwater photography used in documentaries and national geographic type programs about underwater life.

There are many websites dedicated to all the ins and outs of underwater photography; which cameras and lenses are best, which film to use, and much more detail.

Equipment is an important factor in taking great underwater photography. Did you know that there are single use underwater cameras that you can take on vacation with you to get that great underwater look? Wheelehan Photography is happy to answer your questions regarding interesting photo captures.
