This, which is called "Advanced" (rather than "A Beginner's Guide"), might sound intimidating, but it's written in the same comfortable style, and is accessible to people with some minimum background in SCUBA and photography. The tech-speak is minimal, and when used, is clearly explained.The first part of the book is a discussion of equipment (cameras, housings, strobes, and more). This is followed by a discussion imaging techniques, which like in his last book, I think is extremely well thought out and useful. So far, this is essentially an extension of the Beginner's Guide, with a bit more detail and some different ways of looking at things. The big difference in this text is the 20+ pages written and illustrated by seven other photographers, giving their perspectives and thoughts on a variety of topics. They are all good, but my favorites are John Yasaki because of the color he captures, Connie Z's subject selection, and Brian Bolton who has some great macro shots. The book ends with a very useful chapter on handling the digital images in the computer.A very good book, and considering the high quality color printing, a very good deal, too. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Flawed, of some good use for Beginner only *by F***E on November 3, 2012* Ignore "Advanced" in the title. If you know what; ISO, F-stop, and aperture are, you know enough to start with this book without any other prerequisite.The first few chapters are so chock full of useless fluff, I nearly chucked this book in the trash. For example, on P18, the author explains in painful detail why its better to have in-focus shots than blurry ones.But soldiering on, eventually the book does get into real-deal info on equipment and technique and provides enough useful information that a beginning underwater photographer will learn a thing or two.There are plenty of photos illustrating technique, always with F-stop, shutter speed, and ISO, but only sometimes with focal length.If you are an intermediate or advanced underwater photographer, skip this book as it will be too basic for you. If you have no experience with UWP, this is a decent place to start, though far better technical resources are avail on the web for free. Just search for "underwater photography guide". ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Advanced Underwater Photography a must for underwater photographers *by S***M on January 23, 2012* Larry Gates' new book picks up where the Beginners Guide to Underwater Photography left off. This book goes into more detail about using a DSLR camera, different cameras, lenses, housings, and other equipment. He discusses techniques for getting good shots and for taking care of all that expensive gear. His writing style is fun and easy-to-read. Technical jargon is kept to a minimum and clearly explained when used. This is a photography how-to book for the person who has little experience, or for someone who has been photographing underwater for years. There is something for all levels of photographers. I especially liked the chapters at the end featuring Larry's own students of underwater photography and some of their images. As an enthusiastic amateur photographer this book made me realize what is possible with patience and practice. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/16542141-advanced-underwater-photography-techniques-for-digital-photographers-paperback-november-2](https://www.desertcart.us/products/16542141-advanced-underwater-photography-techniques-for-digital-photographers-paperback-november-2) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-04-26*
