About six months ago I invested in a Patima housing for my Canon G10 together with an Inon Z-240 strobe, a major step up after my Canon Ixus with on-board flash. I’ve taken a few thousand shots with it now and have actually managed to get one or two decent pictures! The camera itself is […]
Before I left the UK I went online and ordered a bunch of UW photo books with full intention of reading them all and also bringing them on this ‘trip’ (I still haven’t figured out what to call this thing I’m doing!). Well, I also had a whole bunch of other stuff to do, such […]
There’s several million sardines in a big ball playing charades with the divers around Pescador Island; one of the main diving attractions in the area.

I’m going to print up some more photos to decorate the flat a tiny bit more before my mum comes over to visit in a few weeks. So I’ve spent the morning going through the last years crop of photos from various travels/amazing sunsets or other similar events. I was only after five shots but […]
