Itinerary: Alotau - Samarai - Conflict Islands - Engineer Group - Nuakata

Papua New Guinea is one of the most exotic places on earth! Both above the water and below you'll discover new adventures you cannot find anywhere else, making this place very popular among photographers.

Join us aboard the live-aboard Spirit of Niugini for a digital photo workshop. Your hosts will be Donna Lattin from South Pacific Island Travel and Bonnie Pelnar.

This workshop is designed to show you how to use your digital camera and get the best shots possible when shooting underwater. The workshop is for all skill levels - no camera is too big or too small! During this trip you will have the opportunity to learn how to overcome the challenges you'll discover when shooting underwater. New Guinea offers some amazing macro opportunities and the wide angle is spectacular as well. Each has its challenges. We'll show you what you need to know to get some great photos during this trip.

In addition to shooting tips and techniques, you'll also learn all about how to improve the images you've captured using Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Elements.

Some of us will be also doing a highland tour to Ambua Lodge for four days before we get on the boat. Roughly Sept. 12-16. Donna and I are flying Singapore Airlines through Japan and Air Niugini into Port Morrisby and out to Milne Bay where we board the boat.

Typically we would spend one evening at a resort in Port Morrisby after the trip, before flying out, but this depends on flights.

BONNIE'S TRIP REPORT FROM A PNG TRIP

More about the Spirit of Niugini
Spirit of Niugini is the latest addition to the Tawali Family. A luxury 16 passenger live aboard dive vessel formerly operating as Aqua One out of Thailand. MY Spirit of Niugini gives guests the opportunity to maximize their PNG experience by diving the pristine waters of Kimbe Bay, Rabaul, and the islands off of East Britain. Heading into fall explore Milne Bay and beyond to the best of what has been discovered in the last 20 years. Each trip will feel like an exploratory trip, as you will be hitting the little known Conflict Islands, Engineer Group, Samarai, Trobriands, Duke of Yorks and many other small undiscovered reefs.

Join Marty Snyderman and other photogs
at Manta Fest in Yap!

Manta Fest Photo Festival
Yap, Micronesia
September 17 to October 2, 2008

The first session will feature Eric Cheng and Mike Veitch from from Sept. 3-17.

The second session from Wednesday Sept. 17th through Thursday the 2nd of October will feature Eric Hanauer and Marty Snyderman.

Each session has a professional digital still photographer and a professional videographer to help our guests with any of their photographic needs. There will be nightly presentations on the big outdoor screen on Mnuw as well as individual classroom seminars in the afternoons. The pros will also compile a slide show and video presentation from our guests efforts for presentation on the last day of each session with awards given to those participating. The intention is for Manta Fest to evolve into an island wide celebration involving other hotels and dive shops but for now, we are taking the lead in trying to establish this fun, education program where everyone is a winner. Come rub elbows with the top underwater shooters in the world, experience great diving and have lots of fun.
