Digital Photography Cruise: Home Page

Join us for our 8th Digital Photography Workshop At Sea and learn from top professional photographers who will each give comprehensive hands-on seminars within the workshop to teach you new skills and photographic techniques like HDR (High Dynamic Range), Panorama, Macro, Printing, Photoshop Skills, Portraits, and more.

You'll spend 8 days on a fabulous Southern Caribbean cruise aboard one of Carnival's newest and most beautiful superliners, the MIRACLE, and visit St. Maarten, St Lucia, and St. Kitts where photo opportunities abound.

You'll learn the fine points of DSLR Photography, master the controls on your camera, and learn new techniques so you can begin to produce the kinds of creative images you've always envisioned- all in a congenial and stress-free learning environment.

Epson printers will be available to output your images and your pictures can also be emailed via satellite directly from your cabin or from the ship's Internet Cafe to friends and family anywhere in the world.

You'll also receive hundreds of dollars worth of valuable gifts from our workshop sponsors. To insure a great educational experience, the workshop is limited to 20 attendees so place a deposit now to reserve your place (deposits are fully refundable until 91 days prior to departure). You can also bring a companion along at a big discount.

See you on the Miracle!

YOU'll USE THE NODAL NINJA 3 FOR PANORAMAS!
IT'S THE WORLD'S LIGHTEST, SMALLEST AND MOST
ECONOMICALLY-PRICED PANORAMA TRIPOD HEAD

Nodal Ninja 3 panorama tripod heads will be available for use by attendees when shooting their panoramas ashore. It can rotate at any angle allowing seamless stitching of multiple photographs to form larger, higher-resolution, composite images that exceed the single-picture megapixel capabilities of any camera. This is a little-known by-product of panoramic photography. For example, by using a 6MP camera and the Nodal Ninja 3 to shoot three rows of three (nine total) overlapping images of a building, the resulting image, when stitched together, will have astounding detail- as if shot with a 36MP camera. Find out more about the NODAL NINJA 3 here.

WHAT THIS WORKSHOP IS ABOUT

This is a unique workshop and those who have taken it tell us it has changed their entire approach to photography. You will learn how prepare yourself to quickly recognize good picture material, how to mentally approach the shot to achieve your vision, and how to translate that vision into the final print.

You will start achieving results by the second day and by the end of the week will have developed a methodology that will enable you to capture images that are uniquely yours.

Long after the workshop is over, you will use what you learned to continue seeing in new and creative ways. If this approach appeals to you, we invite you to join us.
