Papua New Guinea is one of the most exotic places on earth! Both above the water and below you’ll discover new adventures you cannot find anywhere else, making this place very popular among photographers. Join us aboard the live-aboard Spirit of Niugini for a digital photo workshop.
Your hosts will be Donna Lattin from South Pacific Island Travel and me, Bonnie Pelnar, author of “The Digital Workflow for Underwater Photographers”. This workshop is designed to show you how get the best shots when shooting underwater with a digital camera. The workshop is for all skill levels.
Understanding, capturing and controlling light
17th-24th January 2009.
Join Alex Mustard’s Digital Underwater Photography workshop at Ocean Frontiers, Grand Cayman in January 2009. The focus on this workshop is lighting: understanding, capturing and controlling both strobe and available light.
We’ll dive on Cayman’s dramatic walls, East End’s atmospheric caverns, fishy shallow reefs and Stingray City. There will be the traditional dawn stingray trip, where there is the chance to photograph the unique stingray schooling behaviour in golden sunlight.
10th August - Oxford
17th August - Action Underwater Studios, Essex
Maria Munn of Ocean Visions is continuing her successful one day beginner’s courses for divers with compact cameras in Oxford and at Action Underwater Studios in Essex. The new ‘Get Creative With Your Compact Camera Course’ focuses on how to make the most of a digital compact camera which has control of Aperture Priority as well as Shutter Speed. The day is spent trying out different effects with both Macro and Wide-Angle Lenses as well as the opportunity to try out underwater flashguns. All of the demo equipment provided is made by Inon, renowned for its ability to make your compact camera take award-winning shots which are indistinguishable from the same subject taken with an SLR camera. Composition skills are closely developed before an extensive pool session to fine-tune newly learnt skills.
Magic Filters and a range of both Epoque and Inon Accessories are available for guests to try out.
