How many times have you finished a dive and
said to your dive buddy "that was fantastic - I wish
I had a camera!" Underwater photography is one of the
truly rewarding ways of bringing home the diving experience.
The pictures or videos you shoot are a lasting record of
your underwater experiences and can be shared with friends
and family for years to come.
 This
class is broken into four parts: theory, pool practice,
open water dive and final review and critique.
In this introductory underwater photography
theory class you will be introduced to basic camera equipment
( or bring your own) and the principles of how to use it
in a liquid environment. We will discuss special considerations
that will give you better results with the equipment you
are using. We will have several types of cameras and accessory
equipment for you to look at and use. Camera care and maintenance
will also be covered.
We will start our practice in a controlled
pool environment where you will have a chance to practice
using the camera equipment and set up pictures according
to the principles that we covered in the theory class. Cameras,
film and processing will be supplied
.After reviewing the pool class results, we
will go on an open water dive, here you can apply what you
have learned to capturing nature as seen thru the view finder.
We will finish the class with a final review and critique
of the pictures.
