Taking digital pics below water (Canon A530)?
I have a Canon digital Powershot A530. It is not waterproof, nor can I add any extra lens, or such accessories. I take a lot of nature pics, and I am still getting used to everything you can do with this camera (it’s a bit confusing). With the Powershot A540, you can get attachments for specific needs, NOT available with mine. Is there any tricks for taking a picture of fish or anything below the water without having the glare? Can I rig something to reduce the glare? If you have any other tricks for taking any awkward pics, please feel free to leave them as well. Thanks.
If I understand you correctly you want to take images THROUGH a water surface. Light reflected off water is polarized light, so if you get a polarizing filter you should be able to get rid of the glare. You will have to rotate your polarizing filter and check through the viewfinder in order to get results. It will also cut out glare from photos through windows.
The first link is for the physics, the others deal with polarizers and photography.
If you want to take images under water with your camera submerged, they used to sell waterproof camera bags, which allowed you to seal the camera against water, but still able to press buttons through the plastic. But that’s an entirely different story…
