Essential tips, advice and best accessories for capturing wave photos and videos with your GoPro camera
GoPro Hero cameras are tough, easy-to-use and produce great photos, making them a great tool for wave photography. Traditional scuba diving housings are not designed for shooting waves – they’re bulky, heavy and use the wrong ergonomics for the positions you’ll be shooting waves from. Surf housings for DSLR cameras address all these issues but they’re expensive. So, this leaves many of us shooting waves with GoPro.

What do you do when approached by an unpredictable shark in the open ocean?
Laughter could be heard echoing out of the steel hull of a schooner drifting 40 miles offshore from Hawaii. The occupants were reviewing footage shot on the maiden deployment of an ROV that was designed to clean the world’s first drifting aquaculture pen.

Tips, tricks and advice for finding and photographing nudibranchs underwater

Tips, tricks and advice for finding and photographing nudibranchs underwater
Since nudibranchs come in such a huge variety of colors and shapes, they are a favorite subject of underwater macro photographers. It also helps that they are often sitting still, or at least moving slowly, so they can be relatively easy to photograph. But despite their bright colors they can be hard to find if you don’t know what to look for. This is where local knowledge is a huge help.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Linda Ianniello has been diving and doing underwater photography for almost 30 years, progressing from a Nikonos V to her current Nikon D300S in a Nauticam housing. Her favorite type of photography is macro, where half the challenge is finding the small, unusual subjects. She especially likes to find and photograph nudibranchs and finds their variety of shapes, colors, and habitats fascinating. She travels frequently to Indonesia and the Philippines, which are both excellent for critter-hunting. lindaiphotography.com
