Wetpixel/Under The Jungle Cenote Workshop 2021

AOI has announced their polycarbonate housing for the Olympus OM-D E-M1MK III. Compatible with AOI’s port system, it has an integrated optical trigger that allows syncing using the camera’s Super FP high-speed mode. The UH-EM1iii also ships with a vacuum leak detection system.
DAN has released the latest edition of their Travelers Medical Guide. The guide aims to help divers manage various travel-related illnesses and injuries, and explains common symptoms, illnesses, and treatments in an easy-to-understand way.
Following on from our previous episode, Phil Medcalf of Alphamarine Photography and Adam chat about the desirable characteristics for compact cameras when using them underwater. Given how small the compact camera market has become, and what a small proportion of it underwater image makers occupies, the choices are in many ways quite critical.
Join Wetpixel diving and photographing one of the planet’s most rich and diverse marine environments in May/June. The Egyptian Red Sea, with its abundance of shallow fringing reefs, offers the opportunity to capture stunning underwater imagery. This trip is designed to be photographically productive and to help people to create amazing images.
Ikelite is shipping their housing for the Sony a7 IV mirrorless camera. Compatible with the 200DL port system. Compatible strobes can be electrically triggered with the supplied manual hotshoe or the optional TTL version. It also has an M16 bulkhead and a port for a vacuum leak detection system.
CMAS, in conjunction with local diving and tourism associations, has announced that the European Underwater Photography and Video Championship will be held from 3 to 8 October in Madeira, Portugal. The event is soliciting entries formational teams. Full rules are available (pdf download). Wetpixel plans to attend and keep the community informed about all the twists and turns of the contest.
The Photo Society is hosting a webinar with David Doubilet and Jennifer Hayes on 5 April at 12:00 PM EST. After they present their images, there will be the opportunity for a moderated question and answer session.
Alex and Adam discuss their computer hardware and which software they use for processing and curating their image libraries. At one time, processing digital images was a resource-intensive process, which necessitated top-end and sometimes bespoke computer power. The general improvement in computer performance and power means that this is largely no longer the case.
