Photo Hint – Adding a Diver for Scale and Interest

By Tobias Friedrich
Placing a diver into the background of an image is always a good idea and works best in wreck photography. This can be planned before the dive or can be a spontaneous situation like this, with the diver swimming by an opening with blue water in the background. Make sure to catch this moment by taking several images with your camera, then select the best one.
Equipment: SeaLife Micro 3.0, Sea Dragon 3000F
