For full details please see www.thedigitalshootout.com. Take it seriously or take it slow, the Digital Shootout is an underwater photography/videography vacation designed to take the shooter in the group to the next level. If you're a new or an intermediate shooter, the Digital Shootout is our fast-track to better underwater imaging. It's also our most popular trip for shooters with an interested, but not die-hard, image-making travel partner. Spend the morning diving together. Afterwards, the partner can hang out at the beach or make afternoon boat dives while you attend the afternoon seminars. Circle back with the group each evening at the slide-show bar party for critiques with the pros. For more information about The Little Cayman Beach Resort, please see: www.littlecayman.com Most of our repeat guests consider the Shootout events the ultimate working vacation. In six days of seminars and diving, the Digital Shootout team will help dial in your underwater system and shooting techniques. Enter your best images in the final contest to win trips, gear, and more from our great sponsors.
