The favorite subject of our Professional Underwater Photographer Paul Macdonald is the Leafy Seadragon, the South Australian marine emblem. Paul has considerable experience in finding and capturing images of these majestic creatures. The Leafy Seadragon makes for a unique and interesting photographic subject.

Learn how to capture professional quality images of this amazing subject. Paul regularly takes Leafy tours for photographers in the waters around Adelaide at sites such as the Victor Harbour Bluff, Rapid Bay jetty, Edithburgh and other local sites. He shares with participants his experience in the photographic techniques he has developed to capture great Leafy Seadragon images.

Alternatively, have your photograph professionally taken with a leafy sea dragon. Paul can record photographically your unique dive experience with the leafy sea dragon. He will work with you to capture and provide you with professional quality photographs of you with the leafy sea dragon.

When I unpacked the camera from it’s original package and held it in my hands for the first time, it appeared elegant, compact but weighty and… quite technical. The camera body looks sophisticated and fit quite comfortably in my hand. The large 3’’ flip-up LED touch screen allows the photographer to display, preview and compose pictures. My new camera was also equipped with a wifi allowing for easy posting of images to social networking and media sites such as Facebook®, Twitter®, YouTube™ and Flickr®. It was also possible to save them to a photo album to share anytime, anywhere. (…) Access the Review of the Canon G7X in FG7X Fantasea Housing

It seems like Canon’s new G7 X has it all: A large 1”-­‐type, 20-­‐megapixel BSI sensor, a fast f/1.8–2.8 24–100mm equivalent zoom lens, and an ultra-­‐compact design. The G7 X follows the style of Canon’s S-­‐series cameras, which are known for their friendly user interface and impressively compact size, and at the same time, provides the advanced features and direct controls which are usually found on Canon’s G-­‐series compacts.
