Disposable digital and film cameras (also called single-use cameras)
provide a cheap and easy alternative for photographers. They offer an
option for times when you don't want to risk your expensive equipment
but you do want to take some photographs. For example, what could be a
scarier combination for a photographer than an expensive piece of
camera equipment and water? While professional underwater photographers (or serious hobbyists) are willing to spend a lot of money on their underwater cameras, what about the rest of us? Disposable underwater
cameras offer an inexpensive alternative. After all, we may only want
to take pictures one time on a snorkeling vacation. Why should we have
to buy or rent a lot of expensive equipment?
Disposable underwater cameras are ideal for a wide variety of outdoor adventures where water, sand and rough use might come into play. Use them underwater, (many models are actually waterproof from 15 to as much as 50 feet underwater)
but also use them above water for many outdoor shots in sunshine or on
a light cloudy day at the beach, the pool, or even the desert.
An underwater disposable camera
can also be called an all-weather camera since it is ready for anything
at anytime. It's ideal for shooting outdoors in wet and even snowy
conditions. Think of it as not only waterproof but also weatherproof,
allowing you to use it to get some great shots in the great outdoors.
Use it in the rain, on the slopes, on a boat or in the ocean. Use it
while snorkeling, skiing, fishing, boarding, or surfing. Take great
photos of sunsets, wildlife, waterfalls or crashing waves.
The disposable underwater camera
you buy should be extremely durable and rugged. It should be easy to
grip and take pictures, even with gloves on. It should fit in your
pocket, beach bag or purse.
Most of these cameras are pre-loaded with 400-speed film with 27
exposures, and include a shock resistant, heavy-duty housing that
floats. They are cheap (you can pick up a disposable underwater camera for about $6.00 to $20.00) and even cheaper if you buy them wholesale in quantity.
Not all underwater cameras come with a flash. To get really nice underwater
images, your best bet is an external strobe so you won't create
""backscatter"" (which looks like snow or dirt in your pictures). Also
remember when taking your photos, especially when snorkeling, to keep
the sun behind you and to take advantage of that beautiful blue clear
water. With a disposable underwater camera you really can take great pictures anywhere and at anytime.
