| Description |
Where better to learn about underwater photography than in a Marine Reserve?. This course takes you through all aspects of setting up your camera, and using it underwater. We
explain how aperture, shutter speed, depth of field and composition can all help improve your photographs.
Brian Goldthorpe, who was awarded a 'PADI Certificate of recognition of excellence' for his training, and took all the images on this site will personally fit the course
to your needs, wether you are a beginner or have some photographic experience. You can use any type of camera from single-use, through film, to digital. If you have a digital camera
then the Digital Photography Course will be more appropriate

After some introductory theory you do a first dive where we look at wide angle and deep water photography. After a review in the dive centre, it is back out to the
sea for a second dive where we concentrate on macro and close shots, and in the more sheltered waters practice composition and adjusting exposure. We then review all the results and
come up with some tips for improving in the future. |
