A

bove and below the
Philippines has an amazing
variety of landscapes, seascapes,
creatures and people to
photograph. Taking a camera along
should certainly be part of any
Philippines holiday.
For divers, look for shops that
offer courses like the PADI Digital
Underwater Photographer and
perhaps combine that with the
Coral Reef Conservation and/or
Fish Identification to be able to
understand and to capture the
beauty of the marine life in these
waters.
There are not many high end
camera stores outside of Manila.
For serious photographers, it is best
to bring everything needed
including back-up batteries and
chargers. If one edits while
traveling, bring a laptop as well.

Using an app like Vivid-Pix also

aids achieving proper color in post

production editing.

GoPro cameras are quite popular

now with many travelling divers.

Using a dedicated color filter gives

best results with GoPro.

Most boats now have camera

freshwater buckets and most dive

shops have dedicated camera rinse

areas too.
