Underwater photography at its best

On October 1 the National Maritime Museum Cornwall opens a beautiful and revealing new photographic exhibition, created by students on the BA (Hons) Marine and Natural History Photography course at University College Falmouth.

The new exhibition called ‘Our footprint below’ celebrates the riches of Falmouth’s marine environment. Falmouth has many different identities, from its yachts and golden sands to its industrial docks, boatyards and mussel beds. This exhibition gives a flavour of what lies beneath the pontoons and frapping halyards of Falmouth’s waterline.

Milly Newman, Exhibitions Development Officer, says: “Our Under the Sea exhibition explores mans exploits under the waves and this temporary exhibition explores this theme in a local perspective – showcasing the incredible sights underneath Falmouth’s waters.”

“We have always worked closely with University College Falmouth and we are delighted to be able to donate a £100 prize to the winning photographer, knowing that it will go some way in helping students fulfil their ambition to become top underwater photographers.”...[thePacket.co.uk]
