Tuesday, July 8 2025: Byron Conroy - Thinking Wide for Big Images

Happy 4th of July weekend everyone.  I hope you get a chance to enjoy a burger or some other holiday appropriate grilled item.  I’m freshly back from the Red Sea where I was shooting wide angle, and so am eagerly looking forward to this month’s talk on shooting wide angle better.  

Byron says: during this talk I will discuss a variety of different techniques for you to use in wide angle photography. The talk will center around technique rather than location so that you can apply the lessons wherever you dive. We will also discuss why and when each technique should be used underwater and discuss the decision-making process behind taking impactful wide angle images.

Come out (virtually) on Tuesday July 8 at 7pm to hear all about it.
