Photo Hint – Shoot for Best Composition

Good composition is always important, especially if you have enough time to frame a subject like this coral reef rock. Try to take a few minutes and swim around the subject, while holding your camera towards it and checking the camera display’s live view. Shoot a few images from each direction and later choose the best one after you’ve downloaded the images. And next time, you’ll know which perspective worked best.
Equipment: SeaLife Micro 3.0, Sea Dragon 3000F

Try the NEW SL554 Micro 3.0 Pro Dual Beam Set! The compact Sea Dragon 3000SF Pro Dual Beam Photo-Video light has a large COB LED, delivering 3000 lumens in an even 120° wide beam. The light offers an impressive 90 CRI (color rendering index) with a proprietary COB LED array that replicates natural sunlight (A CRI of 100 would be just like natural sunlight). With a simple one-button push, the underwater photographer can switch from the wide 120° beam to a narrow 1500 lumen 15° spot beam. For imaging, the spot beam offers many creative opportunities such as to create a narrowly focused snoot or stage spotlight effect.
