New Column on Underwater Photography

For those who don't read the front page, and come straight to the forums, I thought I would announce this here too.

Starting in the next issue - due out this week (I think) I will be writing a new monthly column on the techniques of underwater photography.

While it unashamedly focuses on the methods of UW photography, it will not be a tech-fest mired in jargon. It is about the key aspects of the photographic process that differentiate producing a stunning shot from an average one. I hope that this will be helpful to all, whether you shoot a compact or SLR. The first column is about the subtleties of the technique of shooting from the hip!

I have actually written the first four installments, although the later ones might get pushed back if really exciting images and stories come up on my travels.

The column will only appear in DIVE Magazine. http://www.divemagazine.co.uk/

That is pretty cool Alex.

So when are you going to write the definitive book on the subject?

Hey big Paulie,

Well said mate.

It is the question on a lot of people's lips. . .

Bruce.

So when are you going to write the definitive book on the subject?

When I get the right offer!

No plans for the 12-18 months. I am still experimenting and learning. You're gonna love some of the new toys I have to test in Cayman. Although I have to say that the new talks I have put together for the two Cayman workshops would actually work very well as the main text of a book too.

Alex

Good stuff Alex, I look forward to both the Cayman workshop and your forthcoming book offer!

I will pre-buy one if it helps, we can discuss discount structures at a later date.

Anyway - back to the packing - we have our first flight tomorrow.

Paul C

Congratulations, Alex! Should enable you to reach (and become famous and admired by) an even wider audience!

Well done mate, but watchout, your be as annoyingly over exposed (forgive the pun) as Monty Halls next....

Congrats Alex, although I won't be able to see them as I don't think it is available locally.

Cheers, they have selected well in you!

Todd

Yeah - and I'll be the only one to shower again!

Alex

My copy of 'Dive' arrived on the doorstep this morning.

I only hope that the marvellous article that preceded yours in the magazine did not detract too much from your efforts!

Regards, Trev

Congrats Alex - Its a hard one to find in Australia but I will keep a look out for it .

Still not seen it myself as I do not subscribe to any scuba magazines - must get to the shops and purchase a copy!
