We are still coming out of winter, with spring already close, so we are already in that annual cycle in which time will start to get better little by little until we reach the desired summer. Today we give you some tips to take pictures underwater with your mobile , because like everything, it has its art.
Taking a good photo underwater depends on many factors, some of them can escape our control, but there are others that do not, those are the ones we look at below.
First of all, is your mobile phone waterproof?
It is undoubtedly the first question you should ask yourself, because the same is something you had not thought about until now. For this, what you should do is check if you have an IP68 certification .
Most high-end phones are compatible, and some mid-range. This type of certification usually guarantees immersion in water, up to a meter and a half without being damaged by water. Although for a photograph it is clear that it will not be necessary to be so long underwater. You can check if your mobile has this certification in our mobile comparator .
It is not? try a cover
Logically, if our mobile phone is not waterproof, we cannot risk damaging it permanently and perhaps definitively by taking photos or videos of this type. For this we can try to find a compatible case .
Logically it will have to fit perfectly to its shape, so as not to let the water in through any cracks or cracks. There are waterproof covers, of which we use so that sand does not enter the beach that are cheap, but that surely do not allow you to take good pictures because of the plastic that would surround the lens.
How to take the best photos?
Taking pictures underwater is not an exact science, as with photography outside of it, but there are some tips that can be useful for taking pictures underwater. But there are some things that we should keep in mind to help us make better photos of this type.
Hold the phone well
The first, because the quieter the phone is, the better photos we will take and logically without the effect so undesirable moved. And secondly, because the last thing we want before taking a picture underwater is losing control of the phone. For this, it is not enough to hold the phone with one hand. We must always take it with both of us and in the most intense way possible , because water is not a good place for us to drop the phone.
Use burst mode
It is undoubtedly the way that guarantees us better photos underwater , since with it we will be able to freeze many more special moments in this environment. You should keep in mind that the mobile phone even if it is waterproof should remain submerged as little as possible. That is why it is best to immerse it in a short time and make as many photos as possible in a short time.This way we will guarantee spectacular photos in a short time. Then you will have time to discard photos with the dry mobile.
Wait a few seconds with the mobile submerged before shooting
Taking a picture as soon as you put the phone in the water is synonymous with photographic collapse. Normally the difference in light between the outside of the water and the inside of it is important. So the mobile will have to make sudden changes in the exposure that will be applied to the photo. Therefore, if we leave a few seconds, the photo will be perfect , otherwise the image is likely to burn quite a bit.
