DEMA 2014前5个亮点

上周是2014 DEMA(潜水设备1zplaynd Marketing Association) yearly gathering in Las Vegas. The trade-only event for dive professionals is a four day extravaganza of all things diving.

＃1艾琳·奎格利（Erin Quigley）在图像资源中心的编辑研讨会

Erin Quigley是编辑水下照片的女王。她进行了三场演讲，并进行了精彩的演示，即只需单击几下鼠标即可改善（甚至修复）水下照片（甚至修复）。尽管总是有关于合法和编辑照片不合法的辩论，但她提出了一个明确的编辑案例，只是使它看起来如此简单。

在她的网站您可以找到易于遵循的指南和视频，并赶上Dema错过的内容。

＃2水下摄影装备

有太多要谈论的！As an Ikelite shooter I’m super excited for their newest release of a housing for the Nikon D750 (stay tuned for my upcoming images) and their new ball arm system that allows for the additions of accessories to be clamped into the arms (hello multiple focus/video lights, gadget holders, etc.)

反向散射的GOPRO外壳的翻转过滤器非常受欢迎，这使得三个不同的红色深度过滤器可以根据您的深度进行翻转和关闭，以获得最佳的颜色。Light and Motion推出了他们的超级强大的3,000个Lumen Sola 3000，它适合您的手掌，并带有8,000流明的大型Sola Video Pro！

＃3 Manta Pacific Research Foundation研讨会

MPRF put on a fantastic talk on mantas by Keller Laros, a founder of MPRF (and one of this year’s “Sea Hero” recipients; have you seen the video where he rescues a dolphin by cutting it free of fishing line?) and Dr. Csilla Ari. Keller gave an excellent argument on how divers and dive operations can support scientific research such as in the case ofKona的Manta Ray Night潜水1zplay。

Every day divers contribute photos to help identify which mantas are showing up at the site as well as contributing to conservation causes. Dr. Ari talked about her manta research including breakthrough data showing manta’s ability to quickly change their coloring and markings on their dorsal side, head, and ventral edges which may change the way we describe different manta species.有关MPRF的更多信息。

#4 DivePhotoGuide and Wetpixel Underwater Imaging Party

What’s better than a party at a rooftop pool deck in Vegas? Having much of the Underwater Photography industry’s as the partiers. Around 300 people showed up to mingle and talk about diving and photography (and various other subjects). This fun event was definitely the party to be at.
