MATS May Meeting - Underwater Photography! : [ Meeting was cancelled ]

MAY MEETING PRESENTATION

Diving for over 25 years, Bill Stupp, an expert in underwater photography will revel some of his photos, and underwater experiences. Bill has trained hundreds of people in scuba diving, ice diving and underwater photography. Underwater imaging is considered an especially challenging area of photography, since it requires very specialized equipment and techniques to be successful. Despite these challenges, it offers the possibility of many exciting and rare photographic opportunities. Fish and marine mammals are the most common subjects, but his photographers also pursue shipwrecks, submerged cave systems, underwater "landscapes", and portraits of fellow divers.
