he is too fast!

Posted by Dimitrios (ATHENS, Greece) on 22 July 2008 in Sport & Recreation.

Its time to go underwater and try to describe the beauty as well as the difficulties of taking picture underwater. The location is the Aegean sea surrounding the island of Alonissos which belongs in the Sporades complex together with the islands of Skiathos and Skopelos. Please take a DEEP BREATH and follow me……….

One of the problems is that the subject you try to photograph it moves! And he or she has an advantage over the poor photographer. This is his/her environment and moves in a sleek but gracious way. By the time you thing you have the perfect frame you clik and there is the result!

So lesson number one is stay cool , relax, take a lot of shots, swim slowly towards the fish, be patient!
