My article in UWP magazine

I was very happy to have had an article published in UWP mag in the December/January issue. UWP is a free on line magazine that is published by Peter Rowlands. It is a great specific resource for underwater photographers, and the quality of the articles is often quite high.

Thanks to Alex Mustard for suggesting the idea!

It is available as a download from here

Clear water in the UK

The cold weather and cold water combination has really cleared out the visibility at Capernwray. These were taken last Friday, water temperature was 3 degrees, air temperature -7!

Red Sea Pictures

I've managed to scale back my images from the trip to a more manageable number, and done the preliminary editing on them. I've put a gallery up here

Please bear in mind that there are still too many, and the quality on some of them is not as high as I would wish, but I felt I should get something out rather than nothing! The gallery will be changing and shrinking(!) with time. Any comments/feedback or likes and dislikes would be very welcome.

Amazing footage of a Leopard Seal

Check out this short video interview of Paul Nicklen, who describes a four-day encounter with a large leopard seal in Antarctica. A leopard seal befriends Paul and presents penguins to him, presumably trying to feed what it thinks is a truly incompetent predator. The story is an incredible one—truly the once-in-a-lifetime encounter that every serious wildlife photographer hopes to have one day.
