水底攝影的10大提醒 10 Tips for Underwater Photographers

唔知有無人玩潛水~我就有..但係係香港無玩過>"<
而且都沒有試過水底攝影= =


水底攝影的10大提醒

1. 攝影時要當心
潛水要謹慎小心,因為許多水中生物,無論大小都是
很脆弱的。不當的攝影方法,如相機或氣瓶碰撞、蛙
鞋掃過、甚至只是被手摸著,都可能傷害敏感、脆弱
的水中生物。

2. 維持中性浮力
攝影系統可能增加重量或浮起。因此務必將攝影器材
和潛水裝備固定,並適度調整配重,避免與水底礁石
或其他生物接觸。在敏感、脆弱的水生環境附近潛水
之前,先在游泳池練習浮力控制和攝影技巧。

3. 拒絕誘惑
請勿碰觸、搬動、餵食、追趕或騎乘水中生物。不要
為了拍照而移動水中生物的位置。許多水中生物都非
常膽怯且容易緊張。這些動作可能會干擾牠們覓食、
交配,或是引發平常不具攻擊性的動物起而攻擊。

4. 輕鬆優游
潛水時,要緩慢從容地滑水而過。攝影時要耐心安靜
– 讓水中生物呈現牠們自然的行為,才能拍出更具
意義的照片。

5. 磨練技巧
您目前的潛水技巧一定要能勝任潛水的難度和環境,
並且遊刃有餘。在水底不要為了拍照取景,而用手攀
著礁石,以求穩定。您可以參加PADI水底攝影師、數
位水底攝影和頂尖中性浮力專長等課程,精進您的水
底攝影技巧,成為更專業的攝影師。

6. 掌握相關資訊
下水前,要清楚當地對於在水生哺乳動物和其他物種
附近活動有哪些相關規定和規則。這些規定的用意在
保護水中生物,確保牠們得以繼續繁衍。

7. 做一位AWARE環保潛水員
不妨參加「AWARE – 珊瑚礁保育課程」、「Project
AWARE專長課程」或「水底自然觀察家」課程,學習
生態永續的潛水技巧,進一步認識您的攝影環境。

8. 只帶走照片,只留下泡泡
不要收集紀念品。水底世界的每一樣事物幾乎都是有
生命,或是被生物所利用。拿走珊瑚、貝殼這類標
本,可能會影響當中的微妙平衡,並破壞潛水地點的
資源和美麗。

9. 分享您的照片
用照片做環保,將遭受人為侵擾或破壞的水底環境拍
照存證。把您的照片提供給「鯨鯊專案(The Whale
Shark Project)」或其他監控計畫,協助科學研
究並改善資源管理。您也可以將照片寄給Project
AWARE機構。您的照片能改變水世界的未來,對保育
工作有所影響。

10. 保育水底環境
加入潛水業界領先的非營利環保機構「P r o j e c t
AWARE 基金會」。您的支持將透過教育、倡導和實際
行動,保育水底世界。

10 Tips for Underwater Photographers

1. Photograph with Care
Dive carefully as many aquatic creatures are fragile
regardless of size. Improper photo techniques can damage
sensitive aquatic life and harm fragile organisms with the
bump of a camera or tank, swipe of a fin or even the touch
of a hand.

2. Dive Neutral
Camera systems may add weight or be buoyant. Make
sure to secure photo and dive equipment and be properly
weighted to avoid contact with reefs or other vital habitat.
Practice buoyancy control and photography skills in a pool
before swimming near sensitive and fragile environments.

3. Resist Temptation
Avoid touching, handling, feeding, chasing or riding aquatic
life. Avoid altering an organism’s location to get the perfect
shot. Many aquatic creatures are shy and easily stressed.
These actions may interrupt feeding, disturb mating or
provoke aggression in a normally nonaggressive species.

4. Easy Does It
While diving, move slowly and deliberately through the
water. Be patient and still while photographing - allow
organisms to show their natural behavior for a more
significant and meaningful shot.

5. Sharpen Your Skills
Make sure the difficulty of the dive and the environmental
conditions are appropriate for your current skills and
comfort level. Avoid stabilizing underwater by grabbing
onto the reef for a better photo. Enroll in PADI’s Underwater
Photographer, Digital Underwater Photography and Peak
Performance Buoyancy Specialty courses to become a
more skilled and successful photographer.

6. Be Informed
Be aware of local regulations and protocols regarding
behavior around marine mammals and other species before
entering the water. These regulations protect creatures and
aim to assure their preservation for future generations.

7. Be an AWARE Diver
Consider enrolling in an AWARE - Coral Reef Conservation,
Project AWARE Specialty or Underwater Naturalist course to
learn sustainable dive techniques and increase knowledge
about the environment you’re photographing.

8. Take Only Pictures, Leave Only Bubbles
Avoid souvenir collection. Nearly everything found in the
aquatic realm is alive or will be used by a living creature.
Removing specimens such as corals and shells can disturb
the delicate balance and quickly deplete dive sites of both
their resources and their beauty.

9. Share Your Images
Use images for conservation by reporting environmental
disturbances or destruction using your photographs as
evidence. Assist scientific research and improve resource
management by contributing your photos to The Whale
Shark Project and other monitoring programs. You may
also submit your photos to Project AWARE. Your images
have the power to change perspectives and influence
conservation.

10. Conserve the Adventure
Join Project AWARE Foundation, the dive industry’s leading
nonprofit environmental organization. Your support helps
conserve underwater environments through education,
advocacy and action.
