Red Sea Diving

Photo Workshop

Join Maria for a fabulous week in Nuweiba, where you can really hone those underwater photographic skills to perfection.  

The workshop is perfect for both beginners and the more advanced compact camera users and will consist of a friendly, relaxed approach. The package includes short daily presentations on different topics including basic Photoshop techniques and two dives per day, allowing ample time between dives to review photographs. An individual set-up Tip Sheet is given to help understand your camera’s settings.

Divers should have achieved 50 dives and be comfortable with their buoyancy techniques before participating in this workshop.

Topics covered include the following:

* Shooting with natural light

* Understanding your camera’s main settings

* What difference do apertures and shutter speeds make to your photographs

* Magical macro techniques

* Wonderful wide angle techniques

* Choosing, using and making the most of a flashgun

* Basic Photoshop techniques to enhance your photographs

Nuweiba itself is an underwater photographer’s paradise to practice and develop both macro and wide-angle techniques and the shallow clear waters there combined with Nuweiba’s famous pier make it a perfect playground to achieve wonderful photographs. Dive Sites are repeated throughout the week to maximise on photo opportunities.

• To celebrate 5 years of helping guests take beautiful underwater photographs, FREE PADI DUP Course Materials are included. Maria’s courses always prove popular so to guarantee your place, call Longwood Holidays now.

About Maria

Five years ago Maria pioneered and launched (with PADI International in the Red Sea) the first ever dedicated underwater photography courses for compact cameras, helping thousands of guests realise their true photographic potential and turn their original blue underwater photographs into award-winning colourful ones.
Maria's students have won prizes in Sport Diver UK’s Magazine as well as overseas and last year Daniel Norwood won the British Society of Underwater Photographer’s Best Beginner Prize. 

Maria also launched the first ever book titled “Underwater Photography for Compact Camera Users” to share her hard-won tips helping to ensure that compact camera users can achieve the same results as her and her guests.  Recently published, it has already proved to be a worldwide hit and has received excellent feedback both through magazine reviews as well as both divers and snorkellers.

The book is beautifully illustrated throughout its 176 glossy pages, and comes in a handy A5 size, easy to travel with, to make sure that you come home with beautiful underwater images to share with your friends and family. It is also available as an EBook, perfect for tablet computers.

Each copy sold comes with free Personal Tips for your camera set-up on online support to help you get beautiful underwater photographs too.
