Hi folks,

as you probably know a very common question in underwater forums is the following: "I have been snorkelling/diving for X years now and would like to take some underwater pictures this holiday for the first time. I don't want to spend a four digit figure. What do you recommend? What are the most important camera settings? Is there a difference between shooting underwater and on land? How do I edit my photos on the computer so that they look even better?"

I have tried to answer all those questions and many more on my new website: Getting started in underwater photography

I wanted to include some photos here, but it does not work?!

I spent US$230 on my equipment (camera + housing).

Full-size photos and videos can be found here

Cheers
Clemens
