11Mar2008	Compact Digial Camera - Evening Lecture (8th April 2008) A presentation by Maria Munn of Ocean Visions. Maria set up Ocean Visions to help divers with compact digital cameras realise that they can take superb photographs underwater, and it has been an amazing success. She set off round the world in 2001 following her love of whales, dolphins and sharks with a Sony Cybershot and later an Olympus 5050 with filters and strobes on hand to record her underwater memories. She is a self-taught photographer using a range of Canon SLR Cameras both above and underwater too and has visited over 30 countries in total and loves nothing more than sharing her hard-won tips and techniques learnt to help her guests take beautiful photographs. Contact the dive centre for more information or if you want to come along.
