Dale was one of the first to convert to digital photography many years ago. Thus, he has an extensive Pro Nikon digital system, and Nikonos underwater system, while still retaining film camera bodies if needed. Additionally, Dale utilizes a specialty housed camera for shooting "over under" shots in water. He also maintains a very sophisticated digital scanning and post production studio utilizing Photoshop CS, and a Nikon 16 bit scanner. | |
