We just came back from the Eilat Red Sea Shoot-Out Competition, tired but happy. Meeting old friends, making new ones,and taking pictures!
And this time we have not only good photography, but also a story: How It Was Taken?
You may read the whole story by our friend and great photographer in Michel Braunstein’s blog
This October we had visited the town of Eilat in blossoming Israel during the Eilat Red Sea ShootOut 2013. Thank you all who had attended Viktor’s lecture, we were happy to be there with you and to share our experience.
We were impressed with the high level of Israeli underwater photography, and it’s definitely a feather in David Pilosof’s cap: all this is possible only due to his decades-long activity.
Thank you Pilo and looking forward to seeing you next year!
