b. Get the entire subject into your picture frame. Don’t cut-
off the hands, fins or head of your subject. You can
always crop you image later on your computer if you
want.
c. Learn the compositional
rule of thirds
. The rule states
that an image can be divided into nine equal parts by
two equally-spaced horizontal lines and two equally-
spaced vertical lines. The four points formed by the
intersections of these lines can be used to align features
in the photograph. Professional photographers claim
that aligning a picture with these points creates more
energy and interest in the photo than simply centering
the subject.
6. Always observe dive safety rules
Do not let photography distract you from diving safely.
