Focusing on macro subjects can be very rewarding, particularly on dives with low visibility. Because they are so tiny, however, composition can be a bit tricky. To compose a stunning macro shot, avoid shooting straight down on the subject. Rather, think of creative ways to expose the subject in relation to the background. This often mean shooting low down, hovering near the bottom to shoot on the subject’s level or even slightly below. Also consider the background. Ideally, find a position that allows for a blue or black background without much visual clutter. Use depth of field or color to maintain sufficient separation between the foreground and background, and keep the foreground sharp. As a rule, focus on the eyes of the subject to create a connection with the viewer.
