DENNIS MORGAN TAKES US TO THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHY 

Don’t Miss the Oct General Meeting!

 

​

Our Oct presenter is Dennis Morgan. Dennis will provide a brief summary of his background and diving history as well as cover the basics of scuba diving and how easy it is for “seniors” to enjoy the sport. He will also cover the range of underwater camera gear. The final part of this intro will review a few of the best diving destinations he has experienced. 

​

Next, he will talk about the types of underwater photography (with examples) such as macro, wide-angle, video, marine life and behavior patterns, underwater landscapes, wreck diving, muck diving, and cave diving. 

​

He will discuss best practices for getting good shots and will review optimal settings for underwater photography and shooting styles. This discussion will include many examples from his image library with explanations of the marine life being viewed. It will also touch on post-processing techniques employed and tools used. 

​

Time permitting, the presentation will end with one or more slideshows of underwater images taken at a specific locations such as Palau, Philippines and Belize.
