Dauin Photo Workshop

I just got back from conducting a underwater photography workshop in Dauin, Philippines.

And images here are the brief list “What I saw” during the 5 days workshop.

Actually, we saw a lot more critters other then in these images. Me and two more leaders didn’t dive with camera all the time and I feel it’s works out well. Dive “one on one” with each participant to help with strobe positioning, camera settings and composition underwater.
