At Magic &amp; Sailing, we advocate photography that tells the story without interfering: powerful images, yes, but always with safety and respect for the sea. <\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Experience it with respect (and come back with dreamy photos)<\/h3>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Good photography at sea is about technique&#8230; and attitude. Anticipate, ensure stability, master your settings and remember: the welfare of the animals and safety on board come first. That way, every image will have soul. Also remember that you must follow the crew&#8217;s instructions at all times.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here is a clear guide to help you return home with vivid and honest memories, whether you use a mobile phone or a camera.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">See also: <strong>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/magicandsailing.com\/en\/blog-en\/seeing-dolphins-in-fuerteventura-a-complete-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Complete guide to dolphin watching in Fuerteventura<\/a>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-custom-width wp-block-button__width-75 is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-background has-medium-font-size has-text-align-center has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/magicandsailing.com\/en\/\" style=\"border-radius:0px;background-color:#c72a3d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ENTER AND DISCOVER THE EXPERIENCE OF SAILING WITH US IN FUERTEVENTURA<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before boarding: basic equipment and configuration<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If you have a mobile phone<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Burst mode: increases options for fast movements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Focus\/exposure lock (AE\/AF lock): prevents sudden changes due to water glare.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Focus\/exposure lock (AE\/AF lock): prevents sudden changes due to water glare.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Format: if your mobile phone allows it, activate RAW\/HEIF for more editing flexibility.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>If you have a camera<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Objective: a 70\u2013200 mm lens is very versatile on a boat; if you are skilled, a 100\u2013400 mm lens gives you extra reach.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Speed: starts at 1\/1000 s (increases if there are waves).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Aperture: f\/5.6\u2013f\/8 (sharpness without losing light).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>ISO: Automatic ISO with a reasonable upper limit (depending on the camera) to freeze the action.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mode: continuous autofocus (AF-C\/AI-Servo) + subject tracking; spot\/flexible area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shot: high burst; the jump lasts tenths of a second.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On-board techniques: stability, anticipation and safety<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Body support: feet apart, knees bent, elbows close to your torso; hold the leash.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid railings and ledges like a \u201ctripod\u201d: they transmit vibrations.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Anticipate the moment: look at the water, not the screen.

My passion for the sea led me to obtain my sailor and skipper qualifications, allowing me to experience the ocean up close. One of my most notable qualities is my ability to connect with customers and convey the excitement of each trip. Through videos on social media, I love to showcase the rich marine life of southern Fuerteventura and the spectacular beauty of the Jand\u00eda Natural Park.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/manuelrodriguezmanso\/"],"url":"https:\/\/magicandsailing.com\/en\/author\/manuelmgcsa\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/magicandsailing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8880","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/magicandsailing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/magicandsailing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magicandsailing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magicandsailing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8880"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/magicandsailing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8880\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8881,"href":"https:\/\/magicandsailing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8880\/revisions\/8881"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magicandsailing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8879"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/magicandsailing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8880"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magicandsailing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8880"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/magicandsailing.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8880"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
