A Diver's Guide to The Art of Underwater Photography, Creative Techniques and Camera Systems for Digital and Film
"This book gives us a rare insight into the mindset, dedication and imagination involved in creating magnificent underwater images (...) I sat down and read this enjoyable book from cover to cover. The lack of techno-talk makes it a very accessible method to improve your photography. (...) The images are some of the finest you will see in a guide to underwater photography. All the images are very well reproduced, which will not come as a surprise to anyone who owns any of the other books by the authors. (...) A "Diver's Guide to the Art of Underwater Photography" is a large format 360 page feast of fabulous images and thought provoking and enjoyable writing on taking pictures in the ocean." --Dr. Alex Mustard, Author of "Reefs Revealed" and "The Art of Diving,") wetpixel<br /><br />This book is filled with spectacular images, designed not only to offer great technical guidance, but also help the underwater photographer discover and develop the artist within. Clearly the best and most beautiful "how-to" book ever produced. Rigorously field-tested digital techniques; the hidden techniques behind imaginative framing and lighting, wide-angle and fish-eye to macro photography, from fish portraits to above/below split images, from basic point-and-shoot digital pocket cameras to complex housed professional DSLR systems, it's all here in a highly-readable, technically-accessible, step-by-step guide. 9 x 9 inches, 360 color photos. --Undercurrent, April 2008<br /><br />With an enviable reputation for authoring fine books on underwater photography, the Ferraris have laced the pages of their new book with juicy pictures (...) There is none of the pseudo-art talk that often ruins otherwise beautiful books of photographs. I read it from cover to cover, and it's a great read. The pictures do the talking, and need no talking-up. (...) This 360-page volume doesn't have a weak page in it. --John Bantin, Diver Magazine, April 2008<br /><br />A new entry to the subject of underwater photography, this book is less about the technical aspects of the craft and more about the art and the "eye." This is a big, fat, beautiful, coffee-table-type book that includes 400 photographs illustrating techniques to achieve such effects as artistic lighting and framing. Inspirational as well as educational. --Mike Sevrns Diving, Hawaii<br /><br />This book is filled with spectacular images, designed not only to offer great technical guidance, but also help the underwater photographer discover and develop the artist within.
