EMUP - Next Meeting

The East Midlands Underwater Photographers restart their monthly meetings on Tuesday 4th October downstairs in Nemo's Bar at Stoney Cove. The meetings starts at 7:30 p.m. sharp
Shetland: 4 EMUPers dive 60 degrees North by
Tim Priest, Gordon Brown, Tony Neal and Rob Cuss
Competition: On my holidays

EMUP is a collective of underwater photographers, underwater film makers, divers, non-divers and anyone interested in natural history. We aim to promote the fantastic underwater world and in doing so we aim to inspire people to take up diving, learn more, or improve their underwater photography.

EMUP launched in October 2007 and is now in it's fifth year.

EMUP organises eight monthly talks on the first Tuesday evening of the month starting in October. Each month they offer a talker on a given subject and a light hearted competition on a relevant theme to that month's talk. This is nothing serious, just the opportunity to show off your work. We aim to promote new photographers and so each month our competition will include a beginner's catagory.

Nikon's new mirrorless camera

The biggest news this week was, of course, the launch of Nikon's mirrorless, interchangeable-lens camera system. The Nikon 1 system uses what the company is calling a 'CX' sized sensor, making it about half the size of the sensors in the Four Thirds cameras but still four times the size of the sensor in most consumer compacts. And it's this latter consideration that is significant since, (eye-watering) price aside, the J1 and V1 appear to be aimed at the kinds of the kind of buyers who want more capability than their compacts can offer but don't want a DSLR.

The launch has prompted a vicious backlash on both the forums and comments sections of the site. The high price, surprisingly large bodies and relatively small sensor being the main targets. We have to presume that Nikon has made this choice because the small sensor should mean very high-speed data transfers and lenses with small, light elements that make it easier to provide really fast contrast-detection autofocus. At least in the short-term it looks like Nikon believes keen photographers are better-served by DSLRs.

Website of the Week - Joe Daniels

Each week we are highlighting a BSoUP Member's website. This week's choice is Joe Daniels.

Joe's underwater photography has developed through his love for the marine world which began on a 6 month marine conservation project in the Seychelles. He then spent over 2 years in New Zealand and Australia, a year of this was working with Manta Rays and Whale Sharks on the Ningaloo Reef off Western Australia. Joe returned to the Seychelles for 3 months as a volunteer on the Marine Conservation Society Seychelles (MCSS) Whale Shark Monitoring Project.

Although he is a Divemaster he finds freediving his preferred method of taking pictures. Joe hopes to continue working with these gentle giants around the world promoting their conservation through his photography.

Joe currently lives in the Seychelles and works for Global Vision International on a Marine Conservation Project.

British Wildlife Photography Awards 2011

The winning image of a jellyfish was captured by Richard Shucksmith. His photo was taken at Sula Sgeir (meaning Gannet Rock) a small uninhabited Scottish island, 41 miles north of Lewis. The inhospitable area is home to exposed islands sustaining an astounding variety of marine life. The remoteness of these islands, as well as the challenge that comes with visiting them, makes Richard's incredible photo all the more special.

Greg Armfield, Photography and Film Manager from WWF said "A truly beautiful shot of a jellyfish that perfectly captures its iridescent colours and magical qualities. All the more remarkable that it exists in UK waters. Fantastic."

Competition judge Paul Wilkinson, Head of Living Landscape for The Wildlife Trusts, said "We are delighted to see how many people from around the UK were inspired by the competition to explore nature in their local area. This year's entries reflected a real passion, and affection, for local wildlife. This competition is a special opportunity to give the natural world that surrounds us the recognition, and reverence, it deserves."

The winners and a selection of commended entries can be viewed here.

BSoUP's Underwater Excellence Competition Results

Congratulations to Jane Morgan who was the winner of this year's Underwater Excellence Portfolio Competition. She won the UnderwaterExcellence tropy and a cheque for £250 donated by Dive Quest. See Jane Morgan's U/W Excellence Portfolio for more details.

Jane's portfolio comprised images of Bottlenose Dolphins taken in the Red Sea, a baby loggerhead turtle taken in the Bahamas and Whip Gobies taken in Manado. Jane uses a Nikon 300S and all three of her images were taken using a 16mm lens.

Second place went to Martyn Guess for his portfolio comprising a a nudibranch taken in Kima Bajo, a diver at Boo Window in Raja Ampat and a pink anemone taken at Raja Ampat using a Nikon D300 with macro and wide-angle lenses.

Third place went to Saeed Rashid for his portfolio comprising an image of seals taken in the Farne Islands, a nudibrach on a light box taken in the UK and a Red Sea jellyfish.

Unfortunately neither Jane nor Saeed were present at the meeting to enjoy their respective acheivements.

A total of 32 portfolios were submitted for the competition. Twelve of these were pre-selected for projection by a panel comprising Martin Edge, Linda Pitkin, Martha Tressler and Brian Pitkin. The judges choices were collated by JP Trenque, who also prepared the excellent slideshow for projection at the meeting.

In addition to the top three the following portfolios were pre-selected for projection:- Gareth Millson, Nick Robertson-Brown, Joss Woolf, Paul Morgan, Georgette Douwma, Trevor Rees, Keith Lyall, Debi Henshaw and Paul Colley.

'Pre-selecting 12 portfolios was a very difficult task as the standard was overall high' said Brian Pitkin. 'The top and bottom half dozen portfolios were easy to identify, it was those in between that were most challenging'.

All of the portfolios were projected to the audience of about 100 BSoUP Members and guests present who were invited to vote for their favouriie three. And their task was even more difficult than the judges, who had as much time as they needed over the preceeding weekend to make their pre-selection.

Website of the Week - Andrew Cooper

Each week we are highlighting a BSoP member's website. This week's choice is Andrew Cooper.

Andrew was born in 1965 and currently lives in Hertfordshire, United Kingdom. He has always had a passion for water. When learning to swim, he always wanted to try the diving boards. Aged 6 he joined a diving club and progressed quickly. At the age of 13, he was travelling around the world competing in many international diving competitions and diving displays with his diving club (Highgate diving club).

Andrew represented Great Britain on the springboards and highboards in the World championships in 1978. Although diving ceased through injury, his love of water continued and he took up water skiing.

He eventually started scuba diving in 1999, when he joined Enfield BSAC 1105: www.enfieldbsac1105.co.uk
He is currently a BSAC Dive Leader www.bsac.com
Initially, all his diving was in the United Kingdom. However, scuba diving has taken him to many places around the world including Bali, Bermuda, Borneo, Burma/Myanmar, Cayman Islands, Cocos Island, Indonesia, Malaysia, Red Sea (north and south), Maldives, Thailand and South Africa.

On his 18th Birthday, he got his first SLR camera which went everywhere with him. Once the bug for scuba diving had taken hold, he had to take underwater pictures too. This has been his biggest passion ever since and always gets excited about his next trip...

Andrew was introduced to the British Society of Underwater Photographers (BSoUP) in 2007. Talking to other members, seeing their images and going on BSoUP organised trips, has helped him to progress his photography further.
