Dutch Championship Underwaterphotography

Last June, the Dutch Championship Underwaterphotography was held.

It was a shootout during two days in the Oosterschelde and Grevelingen, Netherlands.

There were 4 categories:

- WA without model

- WA with model

- Fishportret

- Macro

Verry limited postprocessing was allowed (levels, sharpness)

The results were announced on last 28th September.

Since I won 2 out of 4 categories, and got third in another, I was called overal Winner. (aka Champ.) B)

Congrats, the winning images are great.

Congratulations,...Champ!!! do you get to go to the world championship supposedly to be held in Mauritius?.

Could you explain what was exactly allowed in postprocessing?. Did you have to shoot jpg or raw?

Thank you and congratulations again!

Thanks,

You were allowed shoot in RAW, the postprocessing was only:

whitebalance, contrast and sharpening.

I do not know yet if I will go to Mauritius.

do you get to go to the world championship supposedly to be held in Mauritius?.

The CMAS World Photo Championship will definitely be held in Mauritius, from 9 to 14 May 2007. The main organiser is a good friend of mine, and I will post an annoucement on Wetpixel in the next couple of days.

Congratulations!

And it will be digital too.

Maybe Espen will change his nationality to Italian so he can win!

Congratulations. Boy, you cold water guys are something. As I sit here in sunny Florida, I feel a chill just looking at the photographs. I'm going to have to build up some courage to try the dry suit thing some day.

Epsen should have won last year in Spain. So, you are right.
