My Book Reviews So Impressive for underwater photographers of all standards, 30 Dec 2006 I thought that I had read all the best books on this subject. Howard Hall's book from the 80's, The late Jim Church book on underwater composition but this latest edition by Martin Edge is in my view the most comprehensive book written on the topic of underwater photography to date. I have read it from cover to cover and no subject appears to have been omitted. It contains so much advice, tricks of the trade and wisdom. It is a must have book and a great read for anyone interested. I just hope the publishers consider a PDF version for laptop use. I intend to try out the chapter on 'just below the surface' during my forthcomming trip to Florida.
This is where the journey begins., 25 Feb 2005
It is the many photographs I have seen taken by this man which make me realise I still have a long way to go as far as mastering the art of underwater photography is concerned. Time was when every newly trained scuba diver would talk about the diving facility they are going to open now that they have learned to dive. Not so any more. Today, they are more conscious of the underwater environment and are keen to progress on to underwater photography. Well this is where that journey towards taking successful pictures begins. Martin Edge has mastered the art of underwater photography and has that indefinable knack of being able to teach others what he knows - and very successfully indeed.
