Discover the pleasures of underwater photography. This magnifique activity is every day more popular due to the inexpensive technology required. A very simple system plus the use of correct knowledge and technique will allow you to obtain outstanding results. The Intro to Underwater Photography is a course designed for either those who have never shot a camera on land nor underwater and also for those who have already experienced some shooting, but still struggle to squeeze all the potential of their cameras. The course is divided into 3 days. On the first day we will meet on the afternoon and have a theoretical lesson. On the second day we will perform 2 long and shallow shore dives in which we will practice all the skills and techniques learned the day before. During these 2 first dives we will specially fine tune your buoyancy, position, kicking… these will affect your photography game. On the second day we will perform two boat dives, with the possibility of adding artificial lighting. The objective is to make of you competent underwater photographers with a strong base of good habits.
At all moments your photo pro instructor will be guiding you, both on land and underwater.
We offer the possibility of renting a professional DSLR underwater system composed by:
Nikon d90, Subal housing with Airlock, Saga mini 4″ dome port, the 10.5 Nikon fish eye lens, a Subal flat port, the 60mm Nikkon micro lens, and a pair of Inon Z330 strobes with Inon diffusers connected through fibre optics.
