I am planning another trip to the Fort Laderdale/Miami area in about 3 weeks. I dove there a few weeks ago and was pleasantly surprised by how many wrecks you can hit just a few miles from the Hall of Fame Marina area. On one dive, we hit 5 wrecks in about 50 minutes... Now I want to go back and take pictures!
Where is the best place in South Florida to demo UW cameras? I currently use a Sony (DSCP200) point and shoot in a Ikelite housing with a DS125 strobe. I am looking for something a step up without going too nuts... While I would love a top of the line SLR in a housing, it is out of the budget for now... I would rather spend the money on travel and seminars! Can anyone suggest someplace where I can try UW cameras before I buy? How do the programs work? Do you rent the cameras and then get a credit back for the rental fee if I buy?
Speaking about expensive toys, I keep hearing rumors about a week long UW videography bootcamp using the Red. I don't know about the rest of you, but I would trade my mother-in-law (who l love dearly) for the opportunity to shoot underwater footage with a Red! Supposedly it is scheduled for sometime in April or May and is being put on by a group that includes experienced TV/documentary directors and cinematographers. Any leads would be greatly appreciated... I can't imagine there will be many slots and I want one of them!!!
Thanks!
