SCUBA Diving the Coral Triangle: Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands
Lin Craft
The Indo-Pacific region of the southwest Pacific Ocean contains the most biodiverse marine waters in the world. At its heart is the so called Coral Triangle. I recently returned to SCUBA Diving and over the past three years I have had the good fortune to make diving expeditions to several locations, two of them within the Coral Triangle: Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands.
This program, while focusing on sharing the incredible beauty and diversity of these relatively pristine areas as seen through the eyes of a marine biologist, will also mention the challenges and threats faced by our oceans, and by coral reefs in particular.
In Papua New Guinea we’ll visit the magnificent coral reefs and seamounts surrounded by the picturesque volcano dominated islands of New Britain. These remote coral reefs areas still teem with a diversity and abundance of life we invertebrates. We’ll explore the vertical walls of seamounts festooned with luxurious arrays of soft coral, and sponges and discover interesting interspecies relationships. We’ll also explore the islands and reefs of the Solomon Islands..Along the way, I will describe the unique challenges that are faced by the underwater photographer and the equipment that is needed. We may also briefly visit some of the native people that we encountered . I hope you will join me for this adventure.

Portraits Unplugged: Finding the Beauty in Natural Light
Bobbi Lane
Any time of day can work for flattering or effective environmental portraits provided you learn to “see” the light/shadow. The “Big Three” – direction, quality and depth of light are the key to describing your subject and setting the mood. We work with window light, backlight, open shade and garage door lighting. Reflectors and diffusers provide a tremendous amount of control in manipulating the light.
We will start with an instructional image presentation that covers the “rules” of Portraits Unplugged and various lighting situations for creative imaging. This will take your appreciate of light up a notch and help you make better and more meaningful portraits!
