Shooting Magic Alex Mustard DVD

Shooting Magic Alex Mustard DVD

Alex Mustard is a hugely talented and prizewinning, underwater photographer. What makes him special though is the fact that he has invented the Magic Filter, which enables any one to take stunning underwater photographs using only available light instead of a battery of strobes . All you need is a digital camera with a white balance, a magic Filter, and water. The results are truly astonishing. In this ‘How to’ DVD, beautifully shot on location by Peter Rowlands in the Red Sea, Alex personally guides you through the techniques of filter photography demonstrating both the technical and artistic considerations that go to producing amazing available light photographs. I have to say that I usually drop off when viewing these sorts of instructional DVD’s because they tend to drone on about the complexities and make it all seem far too complicated. Alex isn’t like that. He has a genuine passion for his craft and is able to communicate it clearly and concisely. Tips on composition, reading the light, and using the white balance are combined with a one to one review of the shots he has taken and a discussion of why some have worked better than others. This chaptered DVD is packed with extra features, such as fitting filters, FAQ’s, example compact camera videos and Alex discussing some of his favorite filter images The format is ideal as a refresher before a trip, or, why not take it with you as a handy reference. Running Time 90 mins. This DVD is temporarily unavailable
