BSoUP Meeting Wednesday
19 November at 7.30 for 8.00 p.m.
This month, we have taken
advantage of an extremely exciting opportunity and are thrilled to be
hosting one of the greatest underwater photographers in the world.
Amos Nachoum has kindly accepted our invitation
to speak at the
November meeting, his very demanding schedule permitting.
Amos is a true adventurer, his
imagination and breathtaking images spanning an awesome array of
continents and animals. If it is big, elusive and photographically
challenging in the extreme, Amos has either captured the shot or is
working on it.
For more than twenty years,
Amos's explorations have been featured by National Geographic, the
BBC, and the Discovery Channel.
|
His photo essays have been
published among others in National Geographic, Outdoor
Photographer, Sport Diver, BBC Wildlife, Men's Journal, Time, Life,
and Conde Nast Traveller. His presentation style is both charismatic
and
inspiring and if you can attend, you will not be
disappointed.
The November meeting will also
include the A.G. M., starting at 8.00 p.m. sharp, followed by the
Beginners Portfolio Competition. If you wish to enter then please
ensure that you submit your entry before 8.00 p.m. to avoid
disappointment.
The Focus On final has been
postponed to December!
As last month, when our guest
speaker was Kurt Amsler, I would be grateful for an indication of
your potential attendance.

New book - A step by
step guide to underwater video by John
Boyle
This is a much needed and
totally comprehensive book covering every stage of underwater video -
from those crucial decisions on what equipment to buy through to
valuable information on how to actually produce a film and sell your
work. Fun to read, and illustrated by personal anecdotes and hints
from the author it is the book that everyone who uses a video camera
underwater or is thinking of doing one day should read.
