Anyone can pick up an underwater digital camera and take "snap shots." At Fin Photo we want to turn your "snap shots" into photographs. Enhance your underwater photography, one of our full-time professional photographers can help you to get the most out of any underwater digital camera by participating in our Digital Underwater Photography class.
Learning photography is a hands on process. The theory portion of the Digital U/W Photography course focuses on important concepts and techniques with one of our photo pros. So when you hit the water you understand how your camera thinks and will react to you. Theory covers proper assembly, maintenance of the equipment for a long active life to help you capture the magic of the underwater environment. Your Instructor will also cover exposures, the use of white balance, lighting and composition, then accompany you for your "Skills Challenge" dive. These are fun Wide angle and Macro photography tasks to help reinforce the topics discussed during your morning lecture. On your return, the images are loaded onto computer for review. The most valuable part is the critique session with your Instructor where you gain insight into how to improve your shots next time!
