After a while, though, you start to hit \u2018peak canvas\u2019 when you\u2019ve already turned every possible subject in your photo collection into wall art.

When this happens, it\u2019s time to branch out and think creatively.<\/p>\n<p>One field of photography most people don\u2019t have any examples of is underwater photography. Imagine your family portraits take underwater instead of in the living room wearing matching sweaters?

Set your flash to \u2018force flash\u2019 \u2013 not \u2018auto flash\u2019. Without the flash your subjects will look blue-tinged.<\/li>\n<li><b>Get Close.<\/b> Water, you may have noticed, bends light. The closer you are, the clearer and crisper the final photo will be.<\/li>\n<li><b>Lock the Focus.<\/b> Your focus may try to constantly adjust itself because it\u2019s not used to the rippling light conditions underwater. To stop this maddening process, lock it in using your settings and physically move the camera closer or further away to achieve focus.<\/li>\n<li><b>Be Prepared.<\/b> If you\u2019re using a waterproof case for your phone, make sure you read the manual and know how long it\u2019s rated for. Many \u2018waterproof\u2019 cases are only guaranteed for specific times \u2013 thirty minutes underwater is common. Make sure you know the limitations of your gear before you spend an hour underwater and ruin your phone.<\/li>\n<li><b>Ditch the Gear.<\/b> If you\u2019re trying to get a family portrait underwater for a unique piece of canvas art, try to get everyone to take off any masks or goggles for the photo. It takes timing and coordination, but you won\u2019t recognise your family if they\u2019re wearing masks \u2013 and neither will anyone else.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There you have it \u2013 a whole new field of possibility for your photography and your art gallery at home. <a href=\"http:\/\/canvasprintersonline.com.au\">Click here<\/a> to start your newest underwater adventure with some gorgeous canvas prints!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One field of photography most people don\u2019t have any examples of is underwater photography.
