Underwater Photography Course at Dive Wimbledon

So Saturday 23rd March saw me travel to Putney and Wimbledon to help Martin Dixon get off Auto Mode and White Balance and help him get to grips with his Canon Powershot G12, Epoque 150-DS strobe and Light & Motion Sola 1200 Light. Before I even start this post, a huge thank you goes to Roger and the Dive Wimbledon Team for giving me such a friendly welcome and for lending me dive kit. Their hospitality brightened up a very snowy and cold day. Martin started the day showing me his photos, he already had a great eye and it was quite clear from the start that all he needed was a little guidance on the best settings to use and both his strobe and video light would help immensely to bring out far more textures and colour to his favourite underwater subjects. And sure enough, within less than an hour, he had already cracked it - giving a beautiful black background to our make-believe lionfish and super confident to try out his skills underwater. Here are some of his pictures to show off his creative skills in preparation for his upcoming trip to the Red Sea. Well done Mark and can't wait to see your 'real' fish photos.
