…and take notes.  Remember those days?  With all the aspects of underwater photography to remember (e.g. macro, wide-angle, silhouettes, lighting, and on, and on…), I decided early on to keep a journal of my adventures as an underwater photographer.  This allows me to make notes after an experience, good or bad, and refer back to them before my next outing.  For example, after a trip with Bluewater Photo to La Paz, Mexico to photograph whale sharks, I dialed-in on some settings that worked very well for me.  I made note of them, and now I’m ready to rock the next time I’m in a similar situation.

Make it your own, and use it as another tool to help you improve as an underwater photographer.  Document your experiences, ideas for up-coming trips, and things to work on.  Have fun!
