Dennis Deavenport & Tom Collier will cover a wide range of subjects that are essential to
new UW photographers and also those photographers that are somewhat experienced but still may want to get a fresh perspective.
This workshop will be arranged in 4 sections:
1. A lecture with examples going over typical UW equipment options for SLR and Compact Digital users.
2. A PowerPoint presentation covering a wide range of skills required to take technically competent UW photographs.
3. A PowerPoint presentation geared to a better understanding of
compostion skills and how to capture images with lasting value.
4. Two separate hands-on sessions where people with SLRs and Compact Digital cameras can ask questions and be shown how to set up their gear properly.
Tom & Dennis will cover equipment-specific topics that relate to
everyone:
- housings, strobes
- auxiliary lights
- arms
- sync cords
AND more specifically to:
- SLR cameras - (Dennis)
- Compact Digital cameras -(Tom)
Attendees are encouraged to bring their UW gear so they can find out ways to set them up for typical UW situations such as:
- Macro
- Wide Angle
- Night Diving
- etc.
- We will plan to have a 45-60 minute round-table help
session after the lecture where the SLR attending members can ask questions and get help with Dennis and his assistants while the Compact Digital attending members will be assisted by Tom and his helpers.
