Be on the lookout for a new series of articles about digital photography in Fathoms Magazine, authored by photographer and videographer Rod Klein. The Spring 2003 issue features an article titled, “The Digital Revolution Rages on.” Unfortunately, it is not yet available online, but keep your eyes peeled.


Our good friends at Digideep are hosting a digital shoot-out in the Red Sea from September 1-8, 2003!
Fully equipped with the newest digital underwater photography gadgets they will go on a liveaboard to the famous wrecks of “Abu Nuhas” and “Thistlegorm” and the breathtaking National Park Ras Mohammed.
The livaboard vessel will be the King Snefro 6, a splendid dive boat with a nice crew. Far away from the growing tourism at Sharm el Sheikh and Hurghada the digideep staff will give free tutorials on digital image manipulation and digital underwater photography during the whole trip. Free testing of all equipment is also included in the package.

We just received a note from Panasonic, notifying us about this year’s Lumix Award competition. It might be interesting to submit underwater interpretations of this year’s theme, “Man & Machine.” Prizes include monthly Lumix camera and Palm Tungsten T handhelds, and a grand prize of an international 7-day photographic workshop.
