RSS - PostsMy name is Michael Smith and I’m an underwater macro photographer. I’ve taken lots of pictures underwater–both wide-angle and macro. However, I think there are only a handful of hotspots around the world–Tulamben, Anilao, Lembeh, Red Sea, Osezaki, etc–where there is enough interest for underwater macro groups. Photographers outside these areas don’t really have anybody to talk to and share tips and techniques with.
Another thing that I’ve noticed is that there is lots of information on how to make the camera work for underwater macro but not a lot of information on technique: how to hunt, how to share a subject, how to manage a buddy, how to plan a dive, etc.
Now back to this blog. I’m trying to make information available on how we’ve done macro photography dives and expand the hobby. I’m trying to fill the gaps left by the standard underwater photography material that is already out on the Internet.
See you underwater!!
