The Underwater Photographer

Love the info in the book. However, I am extremely disappointed in the pictures - they are ALL in black and white! Most of the pictures are in there to show a difference in settings or a specific technique, but these things are impossible to discern with black and white photos!

I received a book with images printed in blank and white, even though the cover mentioned color images. I guess it’s a defective piece? You can’t study photography with B&W images. Disappointed and returning this one but the book itself is an incredible resource.

This book was published in April, 2020. But, the book mentioned that the most advanced Nikon camera is Nikon D800e. Nikon D800e appeared in market in 2012. The best Nikon D850 appeared in market already for 3 years. The authors use Tonika 10-17 mm, Nikon 10.5 mm fisheyes and 12-24 mm DX wide angle. But the best Nikon fisheye for Nikon is 8-15 mm. The best wide angle is Nikon 14-24 mm FT. If the author cannot use the best equipment, he cannot write an updated book. My experience is that Nikon D850 plus 8-15mm or 14-24mm is much better. It is better for authors to reprint their Fourth edition. I ordered this book as pre-order. My feeling is that I was cheated, tricked and played.

"Color images" it's black and white. What is the point to give details about color with a black and white photo. Major disappointment but great book besides the color. Too bad.

This is not just a repeat of past editions. It presents insightful instruction on the technical for sure. But it augments that with encouraging the practice of an aesthestic image taking process that can transform picture taking into an art form.
