Author Description

Taking worthwhile photographs from boats and of the boats is widespread, but results are often disappointing.All essential aspects of photography afloat are covered here in words and many pictures mostly in full colour, which has become a hallmark of the "This is..." series. Among topics dealt with are the choosing of a camera and lenses, the most suitable kind of film on the water, filters and looking after equipment in the marine environment. By means of "right" and "wrong" examples, the authors show hoe to get satisfying shot in calm or gale and at every angle of shore, ships.
