Is the title of a book about marine photography by Jonathan Eastland originally published in 1975. It was the author’s first book on this highly specialised craft and became widely acclaimed as the standard work on the subject for many years (ISBN 0 9047 460 0 3). It was translated into the Swedish language and published under the title Kamera til Sjoss in Stockholm by Raben & Sjogren in 1976 (ISBN 9129478391). Creative Techniques in Marine and Seascape Photography by the same author was published by B.T.Batsford, London, in 1983 (ISBN 0 7134 4170 4) offering a broader subject content; Camera at Sea - A professional Approach  was published by Ashford, Buchan and Enright in 1990 (ISBN 1 85253 212 2), updating much of the content of the first book and offering a new selection of the author’s award winning photography.
