CAPTURE THE MOMENT
Underwater photography often requires a patience, but you need to stay alert to catch the moment, as the fish moves, when it is in one plane of focus and clear of obstructing fronds.

|
 |
You need to be ready for the instant when the moving fish are in one plane of focus and lining up in one direction.
|
You may get bored watching a fish sitting motionless.
|
|
|
But
make sure you are ready if it suddenly does something.
|
With a moving subject you need to watch how the image changes, and it catch it at the best moment.

GET IN POSITION
When I see a fast-moving shoal I try to get ahead and look for a good background , then catch them as they stream past.
|
Or I try and get in front and let them come towards me, so that they turn away only as they reach me. If I have to swim round to get to the front, I try to give the shoal a wide berth, and avoid making eye contact.
|
|
|
See it coming, get ahead and in its path, and don’t forget the background counts too.
|
It’s best to be ahead of a whale shark, once you are behind you might as well let it go. I swam fast to get well ahead of its path and dived down at the last moment.

Finally, try these tips, but don’t be afraid to experiment!
