Underwater Photography: Capturing the Beauty of Sri Lanka's Waters with Affordable Equipment
In the crystal-clear waters off the coast of Sri Lanka, a unique photo workshop took place, showcasing the capabilities of affordable underwater photography equipment. The event featured photos and videos shot during the workshop, using a variety of tools that demonstrated the versatility of compact cameras and smartphone housings.
One of the standout pieces was a photo of the Big Picture, captured using an iPhone 6s+ in Kraken Smart Phone Housing paired with the Fantasea UWL-09F Wide-Angle lens. The image, taken during a dive, showcased the vibrant marine life and the wreck of the Perseus shipwreck in stunning detail.
Another photo, this time featuring macro photography, was captured using only an iPhone 6s+ in Kraken Smart Phone Housing and the Fantasea UWL-09F Wide-Angle lens. The close-up shot of a lionfish, captured on video during a dive on the Lotus Barge wreck, was illuminated using 2x Kraken Hydra 5000 lights.
During the workshops, the importance of problem-solving for shifting variables in photography was emphasized. A concept stressed was that passing clouds can significantly affect wide-angle photo strategies during a dive. To overcome this challenge, constant lighting techniques were employed, such as the Kraken Weefine Ring Light, which was used in one of the photos to create a fun effect using distortion.
Photography is a tool for capturing scenes, and different tools have different capabilities. For instance, compact cameras, such as the iPhone 16, offer small size, ease of use, affordability, and good waterproof housing options. These cameras are ideal for casual divers and beginners who want all-around functionality without a steep learning curve.
On the other hand, mirrorless and DSLR cameras cater to advanced and professional photographers needing superior image quality and versatility. These cameras, like the Olympus E-M10 IV, provide high image quality and lens flexibility, making them suitable for enthusiasts expanding their skills.
Action cameras, such as the GoPro HERO13, are ultra-compact and extremely durable, with excellent video capabilities and easy mounting options for dynamic shots. These cameras are best suited for underwater videography, fast-moving subjects, sports, and adventure diving where portability and ruggedness are critical.
Specialized rugged compact cameras, like the Panasonic Lumix DC-TS7, offer a tough design with waterproof, freeze-proof, shockproof features, making them ideal for explorers needing a reliable all-around camera that can withstand harsh environments, including diving, but may not meet professional image quality demands underwater.
In summary, compact cameras and action cams are best for casual to moderately experienced divers prioritizing ease of use and portability. Mirrorless and DSLR cameras cater to advanced and professional photographers needing superior image quality and versatility. Rugged compacts fill a niche for those requiring durability both underwater and on land. Choosing the right camera depends on the photographer’s skill level, budget, desired image/video quality, and the nature of underwater activities planned.
