Mastering Underwater Photography in Palau
Munich, January 19, 2008:
Palau based dive center
Sam's Tours offers advanced digital photographers a workshop to improve their
skills and master post-shoot work flow management. Tony Wu, one of Asia's best
underwater photographers and editor of Fins Magazine will hold the workshops
from April 22-27, 2008. Joining him will Gunther Deichmann, well renowned for
his brilliant landscape and surface shots and also a certified Apple Pro
trainer for Aperture. The event will cater to both divers and non-divers with
lots of opportunities for underwater and topside photography. It will comprise
instruction on Apple Aperture and Adobe Photoshop. Sites underwater include
Blue Corner as well as other great locations. Sites ashore include Micronesia's
second largest island of Babeldaob, Palau.
The digital photography
workshop will be the first event in the newly opened digital photoshop
established on the premises of the dive base along with the major renovation
that has been completed in January 2008.
Divers have now access to 7
Apple iMacs, 8 housed digital cameras and 2 housed HD videocams for rental. All
workstations have Internet access and 3 of the stations are optimized for
digital imaging with Apple Aperture and Adobe Photoshop software. One
workstation is optimized for video editing.
Says Dermot Keane, Managing
Director of Sam's Tours: "A couple of years ago, one out of ten divers arrived
with a camera and requested photography services - mainly slide development.
Nowadays, practically every confident diver wants to benefit from the now very
affordable digital camera equipment.
Palau is blessed with unspoiled reefs, spectacular
wrecks and soft corals and an abundance of large pelagic animals. We at Sam's
Tours would like to give every diver, whether beginner or expert, the
opportunity to take their personal memories of their special dive experiences
home and share them with friends, families and fellow divers."
