Meetings

Please join us Sunday, May 19th, 2024 for our next meeting.

We have a special guest speaker coming Live via Zoom!

Byron Conroy, an underwater photographer, and photojournalist based in Reykjavik, Iceland will be our May speaker. He has been living in Iceland for the last 8 years operating multi day dive expeditions to the most remote parts of Iceland and Greenland whilst also working as the Chief Operating Officer of Arctic Adventures, Iceland’s leading adventure tourism company. 

In addition to working in Iceland he has spent the past 5 years as a photojournalist working for the Scuba Diver magazine brand based in the UK and regularly writing articles on some of the world’s best dive destinations. He has written multiple articles for the Dive Photo Guide website on locations, photo techniques and different species. 

Byron is a JJ CCR trimix diver and loves all types of underwater photography from Ice diving in frigid temperatures of the Arctic to cave diving in Mexico, wreck diving in Truk lagoon, and macro driving all over the Indo Pacific. If there is a cool photo to take, he will be there regardless of the dive type. Over the last few years, he has progressed more into macro photography. 

Byron has placed in the top 3 of all the most recent editions of the major underwater photography competitions including Gold in the DPG macro category, Silver in the Ocean Art Macro category and Bronze in the Underwater photographer of the year Macro category. 

His presentation will be all about creative macro photography and it will encourage you to start to push the boundaries of your photography no matter if you are currently a beginner or a more seasoned advanced photographer. He will discuss the creative mindset and the decision-making process along with more advanced techniques with real world examples.
