Thinking Before You Shoot; Annie Crawley's 10 Quick Tips for Success!

Every time before I dive, there is a strict method I follow to ensure my success with my system. This is the fun part, right before I am getting into the water, after I have planned my story, my destination, my purpose for shooting. What I am talking about now is how we must become a bit AR, dare I say the words…anal retentive…about our equipment and our diving. Have you ever heard someone talk about the most amazing dive they ever had in their life, with nine whale sharks in one dive but nothing to show because their port was dirty?

The Importance of White Balance

Although in The Camera Coach, Your Guide to Creating Underwater Video, I discuss the importance of white balancing your camera, I use a plain white slate. Since I created The Camera Coach I had the pleasure of working as an assistant to Tom Campbell, Underwater Cinematographer extraordinaire! I learned a lot from this experience. As I continue to learn, I want to continue to share with you. Tom Campbell took the time to explain the differences between white balancing off a white slate and white balancing off the DSC color chart. It is with his agreement that we share his knowledge with you. Tom recently wrote this article.

Don't Get Wet Just Yet

So you got a new camera, strobe, housing, lens etc. Now what?

If you've just purchased new underwater photo equipment you'll need to learn about it and test it before going diving. Unfortunately I have seen too many new camera housings and strobes flood on their very first dive sending their owners home from a dive either furious or in tears. It's time for us to face up to the fact that new equipment is going to require a little investment in time before we dive with it. Spending the time to learn about how your new equipment works is the best way to get started.
