Are you an avid photographer? Planning on a trip
to the Galapagos?
Join a Photo Safari aboard M/V Eclipse!
We'd like you to know about this spectacular Photo Safari on
board the M/V Eclipse with guest photographer Jonathan R. Green.
THE PHOTOGRAPHER: JONATHAN R. GREEN
 Born and raised in England,
Jonathan traveled extensively through Europe after obtaining his B.S.
in Geography & Geology. His travels then led him to the
Galapagos
Islands in 1988 where he trained as a naturalist with the Galapagos
National Park and the Charles Darwin Research Station. His passion for
photography always accompanied him, even underwater after he became a
Galapagos Marine Reserve Dive Master. Since then, Jonathan has been
published in Time Magazine, BBC Wildlife Magazine, The Royal
Geographical Magazine amongst others, and has also exhibited at the
Natural History Museum and the Olympia Exhibition Center of London as
well as other venues around the world.
 Jonathan now dedicates his
time giving personalized workshops to a lucky handful of photography
aficionados of all levels and origins in places such as Africa,
Antarctica, Patagonia, Amazon, Central America, Peru and of course, the
Galapagos Islands.
Jonathan is a Fellow of the Royal Geographic
Society of London and currently lives with his wife and children in the
Ecuadorian Andes.
THE YACHT: M/V ECLIPSE
You can view the eclipse here.
Plus book online.

The M/V Eclipse is
Galapagos comfort at its finest. With a length of 210ft (64m), a width
of 41ft (12.5m) and accommodations for only 48 passengers, the M/V
Eclipse offers the amplitude and amenities of a medium sized vessel as
well as all of the advantages of a small, exclusive yacht.
Enjoy the
M/V Eclipse’s spacious cabins, delicious Ecuadorian and International
cuisine, personalized attention, small excursion groups (no more than
12 guests per guide), and ample exterior areas including a large Sun
Deck complete with soothing Hot Tub and wide, wonderful views.
 Share
the day’s experiences with your shipmates, guides and with Jonathan at
our comfortable indoor dining room or in our spacious al fresco dining
area during meals.
Evening briefings presented by your Galapagos
National Park licensed bilingual guides as well as specialized on-
board workshops given by Jonathan will be held in our large and very
comfortable Lounge.
THE WORKSHOP
 Have
you enjoyed the
photos you have been able to see here? Well, now you will learn how to
make these happen, through your very eyes and with your own hands.
Jonathan’s methodology is not only fun and very practical, but it is
geared to any level of photographer, even if you are a beginner with a
point-and-shoot camera!
The uniqueness of the destination, the
expertise and openness of our award-winning guest photographer plus the
cozy comforts of life on board the M/V Eclipse will truly give you a
photo safari experience like no other in the world.
 Jonathan’s
workshops take place in a hands-on environment during excursions along
with additional, detailed follow-ups and interactive presentations on
board. And because you will be in the world’s 2nd largest marine
reserve, Jonathan will also have a special workshop on underwater
point-and-shoot photography, and for this we give you a 27-shot
underwater disposable camera, compliments of the M/V Eclipse.
 Learn
amazing practical tips for Nature Photography such as: use of
equipment, angles & composition, mood & location, close
– ups
& far away, exposure & lighting, focus techniques,
colors,
subject behavior, weather & time of day, and much more.
Some of
the exciting topics that will be covered by Jonathan include:
histograms, JPEG, TIFF, RAW, the Rule of Thirds, symmetry, centre,
offsetting, camera programs, focal distances, portraits, landscapes,
subjects in motion, filters, creative photography including the
revolutionary HDR method.
