Great Lakes Shipwreck Photography
Photography in the Great Lakes is about as challenging as it gets. The water is cold, and while clearer than it used to be, it’s still not the Caribbean. Great Lakes shipwreck photography is a specialty all to its own and this course is designed to get the underwater photographer started on his or her way to capturing great Great Lakes Images.
We’ll discuss camera equipment and techniques, dive equipment and training needed as well as dive planning and working with a model for successful image making. Other topics included are story telling, post dive work flow and putting it all together for a complete slideshow or photo album.
Participants with a basic photography knowledge will benefit the most from this course and it will be taught from a digital prospective.
