Escorted Underwater Photography Trips with Maria Munn

Underwater Photography Trips

Magical Mabul & Sipidan Photography Expedition - 19-26 February 2012 and 9-16 September 2012

Take your underwater photography skills to the next level and experience once of the very best dive destinations in the world with all kinds of opportunities to delight and bring home an underwater photographic portfolio to wow your friends and family.

The emphasis for this 8 day, 7 night trip is learning in a fun, friendly and relaxed way to guarantee you the very best encounters with a huge array of macro delights to swimming with endless schools of jacks and friendly turtles in the world-class island of Sipidan. There really is no better place than the calm, clear waters of Mabul and the pelagic rich island of Sipidan to learn.

The price of £1,400 is based on a small group of a maximum
of 10 people for lots of learning time with the personal touch,
completely tailor-made to your requirements. Full board
accommodation for 7 nights is included at Borneo Divers Luxury Chalets with three boat dives a day as well as unlimited diving at the house jetty. (Their house jetty hosts an amazing array of both wide angle and macro opportunities). We will also get opportunities to go to Sipidan Island during the week to take your wide angle photographic skills to perfection.

Topics covered include the following:

Understanding all of your camera settings
Photographing Natural Light
Approaching Your Subject with Ease and Confidence
Capture that Magical Macro Subject
Exploring the Wonderful World of Wide Angle Photography
Lighting Your Subject - One Strobe or Two
The Comprehensive Guide to Composition

There will be much, much more learnt throughout the week, but the firm emphasis is learning in a fun, relaxed, friendly way.

"Without Maria's passion for photography and helping others like myself, I would not be producing such wonderful underwater photographs, something that I've been striving to achieve for some time. She quickly helped me overcome my fear of the technical side of photography and helped me learn the advanced topics with ease and lots of fun. The results of my photographs have hugely improved. Thanks immensely." Helen Denholm-Simmonds

"Maria has been a delightful workshop host and has given us invaluable instructions to improve our photography." Chrisi Neeson

"I have had an amazing tme and my photography has progressed enormously during the last 7 days." David Kittos

"I really enjoyed my stay in Nuweiba and am very pleased with my photos. The workshop has been a perfect opportunity to try out different settings on my camera as the house reef is teaming with life and very easy to dive. It was useful to be able to return to the same spot to try and improve on photos taken on previous dives. The staff were very helpful and experienced and I look forward to coming back again soon."

"Just thought I would drop you a quick text to say thanks for a great two weeks and especially for making Linda's first dive holiday in Sharm truly memorable" Stephen Downer

Good luck Maria, you are a wonderful leader and have so much concern for your guests that I imagine you will do great. Tricia Kelly, Elite International Diving Services

"The Nuweiba workshop

was just what I needed to give me that crucial confidence boost with underwater photography. I'm interested in doing freelance photojournalism and writing for diving magazines, so I am hoping that having good photography skills as well as being able to write good articles, will eventually get me noticed. I'd already been on two other underwater photography workshops, but these didn't help as much.

"It's by no means easy to take competition-winning underwater photographs. However, when the opportunities present themselves to me, after attending your workshop, I'll be able to get the best out of my camera.

"Winning the Sport Diver "Readers picture of the month competition" was amazing - let's hope it's the first of many!"
