Angles & Perspectives: Sometimes it's alright to bend the rules!

By Tobias Friedrich

One of the important rules for underwater photography is shooting subjects from a lower perspective, but we can break this rule sometimes to create a different perspective and still retain a rich, blue background. For the two beautiful Manta Rays in this photo, it was too difficult to take an image from below; however, but the photo still turned out very good from this angle.
