Dive adventure novelist Paul J. Mila (Dangerous Waters, Whales Angels and Fireworks) has just published Basic Underwater Photography. The author thanks ScubaBoard members and dive friends who provided editing input into the draft version of the manual. It is available directly from the author's website, Paul Mila Books in both a hard-copy version and as a PDF file download.

The press release, from PRWeb, is available at Basic Underwater Photography: Unique New Photo Manual Emphasizes Non-Technical Approach

Basic Underwater Photography emphasizes a non-technical photographic approach for divers who prefer enjoying their dives and taking photos without continually adjusting camera settings such as f-stops and shutter speeds. Instead, Mila stresses the importance of positioning, stalking techniques, and using the correct accessories, such as an external flash and/or wide-angle and macro lenses, for particular shots.

As the book's introduction says, Perhaps those beautiful eagle rays and barracudas you shot appear small and unimpressive in your photos; the colorful sponges and corals you saw now look drab and featureless; the majority of your fish photos are just tails, others are blurry or grainy; and then your friend, trying to pick out a turtle through a swirling mass of backscatter, asks, "Gee, were you taking photos in a snow storm?"
The author's message: "Do not despair! And do not feel you must spend mega-bucks to achieve good results!"

Ordering information, Reviews, and a Free Preview, are available at Paul Mila Books

Good Shooting!
Paul J. Mila
