Lyle Wetsch is originally from southern Saskatchewan where his photo journey began in the late 1970s when he began working with colour prints and slides in his own colour darkroom while still in junior high school.  While operating his own company training scuba and technical diving instructors (10 years in the Caribbean and Central/South America and 10 years in New Zealand, Australia and the South Pacific) he expanded into underwater photography and began training underwater photographers and underwater photography instructors in over 19 countries for 20 years with a wide range of equipment included housed 35mm cameras and the entire Nikonos range (Nikonos III, IVa and V).   

 

Migrating from film, to DSLRs and now to fully mirrorless (Nikon Z8 & Z6), Lyle’s photographic interests include a wide range of genres including; landscape/nature, wildlife, travel, night, astro, underwater, and UAV (drone).  He is currently an active member of the Harbour City Photo Club (HCPC) in Nanaimo, BC.  Much of his summer is spent sailing the coastal waters of BC and Washington exploring remote areas and photographic opportunities while still traveling globally.

 

Lyle has been involved in teaching, researching and consulting with organizations on digital and social media since 1998 and looks forward to working with CAPA.
