Good & Bad Pictures
d) Composition:
Look for good color contrast between object (fish), surrounding (coral)
and background (water). Look for exciting shapes.
Here the photo lab added yellow and red.
Below 30 ft./10 m. most yellow and red is absorbed
by the water, leaving only blue.
Interesting Coral Shapes
(with regular lens)
Great shot, but poor contrast
Good contrast
(with MACRO 3X close-up lens)
e) Color Correction:
UW filter, macro lens, special processing, or editing are ways to
increase yellow and red.
Request to see sample prints at your photo lab, called index prints.
