1 Day

Description

Avoid beginner mistakes and shorten the learning curve with tips from the pros. Learn how to use underwater photography lights (strobes), avoid backscatter and enhance color. You could spend hours learning underwater photography through trial and error, or you can take a shortcut. Learn professional tricks and tips for taking great photos underwater and the best way to capture video while scuba diving with a GoPro (or other action camera). You don't necessarily need to invest in a massive underwater camera system to start taking great dive photos. A simple point-and-shoot camera will get you started. External flashes and strobes will help in many situations. If you think you will want to expand your system later on, take that into consideration if you are buying a camera, and check that the camera and its underwater housing will support external equipment. During two dives you’ll get hands-on experience taking photos with a compact camera or action camera (use your own or ask about rental). You’ll use the SEA (Shoot, Examine, Adjust) method for getting great shots. - Take This Course If You Want to Share your scuba adventures Reduce backscatter Use your action camera underwater - What is Included Professional instruction, course manual, tanks & weights used during the course and certification fee. - Learn How to Use underwater strobes Photograph marine life Choose photo equipment - Prerequisites Certified diver / Jr. OW Diver (or qualifying certification) Minimum age: 10 years or older - What you need Basic scuba equipment, an underwater camera or a camera with an underwater housing.
