You consider yourself a pro or you hope to be one soon and now you are going out to shoot some underwater images. You do not want to come back with crappy images to show your family, friends or even worse your client. Just remember, no matter how good you are in Photoshop, you can't make good images out of bad ones.

Come join ASMP-SD and Al Bruton for an evening of underwater photography. We will explore the rules you need to know, the type of equipment you need and some tips on advanced techniques. It will be a fun and informative evening.

Now retired, Al is an award winning underwater photographer and videographer. His work has been published in almost all underwater magazines in the US, Canada, Mexico and Europe in addition to many non-diving publications. He has had 48 magazine covers and credits on all national television networks in the US, Canada and Mexico. He has an extensive list of national corporations and governmental agencies that he has shot for. But the bottom line is that Al loves to dive, but can't do so without a camera in his hand.

The lecture will be held on Thursday, August 18th, 2011 at Ray Street Studios, 3436 Ray Street, San Diego, CA 92104. Check-in will begin at 6:30pm with the program beginning at 7:00pm. Ticket prices are $10 more at the door. Light food and beverages will be provided. 

On Saturday, August 20th ASMP members may attend the hands-on/in the pool meeting. 10am-4pm, with models. This event will be hosted by Al in his very own pool. Space is very limited - see Al or a Board member at the program about eligibility.
