    TheUnderwaterPhotographer.com has teamed up with Peter Hughes Diving and South Pacific Island Travel for a very special photo workshop coming in 2007 led by me, Bonnie Pelnar.

     

    Peter Hughes Sky Dancer, Galapagos - Nov 29 - Dec 9, 2007

    Sponsored by South Pacific Island Travel

     

    This is the last 10-day Galapagos itinerary*

    Deluxe stateroom starts at $4395 for 10 nights accommodations, 8 1/2 days unlimited diving, all meals, land excursions, transfers. Airfare not included.

     

    For the passengers aboard the boat during this trip, I will be available to assist with questions and offer tips about underwater photography throughout the trip. During the evenings I'll be presenting slide shows about underwater photography topics and the digital imaging workflow, which includes secrets on how to use Adobe Photoshop to make your best shots of the trip even better.

     

    The workshops are open to all levels of photo enthusiast. No camera is too big or too small. I will show you how to get the best shots possible from whatever camera you are using, regardless of your experience. Film shooters are welcomed too. We will however, be unable to process and review film images while on the boat. A critique of images will be offered to all attendees shooting film, available from me after the trip.

     

    The Photoshop sessions will be customized for the levels of the attendees, but knowledge of Photoshop or Elements basics will help significantly.

     

    We haven't forgotten that this is YOUR vacation so the presentation schedule will be flexible in order to take advantage of the best diving these amazing destinations have to offer. We'll attempt to get as much diving in as possible so presentations will be in short sessions nightly. There will also be a photo contest for the best shots of the week.

     

    It will be a fun week of learning and comradery. In addition, all attendees will receive a gift certificate to the course of their choice from TheUnderwaterPhotographer.com. Come to sharpen your photography skills while having a lot of fun too! Bring your digital cameras and your laptops!

     

    If you would like more information contact Bonnie at (949) 733-2213 or send an email.

    SOUTH AMERICA SIDE TRIP: If any are interested, I'm planning to fly in a couple days early to spend some time in Quito, Ecuador. Quito is lovely and worth a visit to tour the city and visit the mountain villages. If you're really adventurous we could also arrange to make a trip into the Amazon or to Machu Picchu in Peru after we get off the boat.

     

    Can't come to this workshop? :D
