Three of my all time favorite photos happen to be underwater: Cristina Mittermeier‘s Peekaboo, Brian Skerry‘s image of a Southern Right Whale and Paul Nicklen‘s photo story with a leopard seal. If you do any Google image search using “underwater photography” and any water related keyword you’re interested in you will undoubtedly come across tons of fantastic underwater photographs that show how otherworldly Earth can be!
Nicholas Hess put together 10 Underwater Photography Tips for Beginners for Photography Life that addresses how light behaves underwater, the importance of understanding the direction of the sun, underwater flash and how to prevent flooding and fogging.
Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
