Merry Christmas from Scuba Travel with the latest diving travel offers
Winter Warmer, introducing Atmosphere Resort, Dewi’s 10th Anniversary, Undersea Hunter and some Early Bird offers… check out these offers from our friends at UK-based Tour Operator Scuba Travel.
The Winter Warmer
Last few spaces available
Join Mario on his Winter Warmer™ tour and beat those winter blues with a week of dedicated Red Sea underwater photography, focusing in particular on the varied macro and wide angle opportunities at Gubal, the Thistlegorm and Ras Mohammed.
This trip will focus on the fundamentals of underwater photography – no matter how much experience you have, getting the basics right matters. If you are newer to underwater photography, we will cover the proper camera set up, available light photography then moving on to lighting and lens selection. If you have progressed through the initial stages in your underwater photography already, then you might want to experiment, setting up specific shots and coordinating with models, or try some experimental stuff like snooting, time-lapse or long exposure shots.
This will be a great all round trip, suitable for all abilities, and Mario will be on hand morning, noon and night, dishing out any help and advice you might need. Once you’ve taken the shots you will probably want to tweak and edit them so most evenings there will be assistance with using Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop to make the most of your digital creations.
