The Underwater Photographer 4th Ed

Postby Mick T on Wed Mar 03, 2010 3:42 pm

The 4th Edition of Martin Edge's "The Underwater Photographer" is now available.

http://www.amazon.com/Underwater-Photog ... 0240521641

I have the 3rd edition, and I am still picking up good information out if it. If you were thinking of getting a book about underwater photography, I'd recommend this one.

Cheers.

I have had mine on order with Angus and Robinson since Dec 09 (gift voucher for Chrissy) - should be in very soon 8) 8)

I have heard some good reports about it and if it's anything like 3rd edition it will be worth the wait.

would be good to know what is additional info on ed 3.
Nikon D300s in a Nauticam housing, a few Nikor lenses, a couple of inon strobes and ultralight arms to connect them to the housing. Pre May 2010 Olympus C7070, PT027, with the strobes and inon wet lenses (WA, fisheye and close up).

I think there is a chapter on 'Film is Dead', and another called 'Spend all your Money to be the Best!'

Just kidding! ;-)

Apparantly it is a full re-write with new sections on file management and storage and concentrates mostly on digital techniques. There is a huge thread on this in Wetpixel.
