Well, today I actually headed north instead of south! My destination? New Hampshire and Backscatter East, where I was meeting with Fred Dion to pick-up the cameras and their underwater housings that have been donated to the internship! I was pretty excited to āmeetā the video camera that John Ellerbrock and Gates donated. All of the past interns have used it, and I canāt wait to try it out! I also received a still camera, with all the underwater fixings, newly donated to the internship this year by Andrew Bausk and Olympus. Ā To complete the āset,ā Fred Dion and Underwater Photo-Tech donated an underwater video light. I was extremely eager to use everythingā¦there was just one problem; I had no idea HOW it all worked!! But, thatās where Fred came to my rescue. He walked me through the basics on how to use everything, and now I thinkĀ Iām ready to do some experimenting of my own! After grabbing a quick bite to eat, we parted ways, and I headed back home. Tomorrow I’m going diving, and I’m bringing my camera with me! š
