Basic book?
Can anyone recommend a very basic underwater digital photography book for a complete beginner? I want lots of helpful tips, not a coffee-table book full of beautiful piccies

I was recommended the Micheal Aw book - An Essential Guide to Digital Underwater Photography (6th one down)


Alan James - For all you need in underwater photography

I'll second Aw's book.

I own 3 good UWP books, Aw's, Church's Nikonos book and Edge's latest book. They are all 3 excellent, but for basic's Aw's book is difficult to beat. The others are a lot more technical in their description and don't try to explain aperture and shutter speeds using bulls through gates!!

PS I've only got the first edition, don't know what changes they made.

Thanks for the advice, guys. I've ordered a copy of the Michael Aw book and it should be here tomorrow, ready for me to read and put into practice at Babbacombe on Saturday.
