Basic Underwater Photography is a new book by Paul J. Mila, which offers a unique, non-technical photographic approach for divers who prefer enjoying their dives and taking photos without continually adjusting camera settings. Instead, the author stresses the importance of positioning, stalking techniques, and using the correct accessories. The book is designed for new underwater photographers as well as for experienced divers who are disappointed when their photos of beautiful eagle rays and barracudas appear small and unimpressive, colourful sponges and corals look drab and featureless, and their fish photos are blued-out or just blurry, grainy tails. The 23-page manual is intentionally short, easy to read, and packed with information, illustrating basic techniques using Mila’s own photos. The book is available for $12 (hard copy) or $5 (electronic version) via www.milabooks.com.
