Memoirs of an Underwater Photographer

This week’s Photo Friday entry: ’Of House and Home’ I don’t know who is in charge of picking the themes over at photofriday.com but this is the second week in a row that the theme has left me rather uninspired. Anyway, I’m choosing to focus on the territorial nature of clown fish for their anemone [

This week’s Photo Friday entry: ’Detailed’ This week’s theme is Detailed. Sometimes it’s nice to just zoom in to a coral head to see the wonderful patterns of it. Its amazing what little critters you can find like the little blenny between homes above. Below more coral and urchin patterns. If you wa

This week’s Photo Friday entry: ’Downward’ This week’s theme is Downward. Immediately my mind went to these little fish (Shimp fish I think) that swim face down. I’ve only seen them this one time by a bush of black coral  in Cebu (in the Philippines) in 2008 when I first got my camera. If you [...]

This week’s Photo Friday entry: ’Soft Light’ Sorry for my absence these last few weeks, a mixture of uninspiring photo Friday themes and slight illness played its part.

This week’s Photo Friday entry: ’Inner City’ Funny this should be the theme today because I was only talking about my 2008 trip to New York with someone yesterday. I loved New York! The view above is a hand handed ten image stitched panorama shot from the empire state building. Click on the images t

Just back from Cambodia (not diving though unfortunately)! On our way out there we took a couple of nights in Singapore. I wanted to get out to see the whole skyline but we couldn’t find the right bus stop, doh! So you will have to make do with my photos from the Marina Bay Sands [...]

Photo Friday entry: ’Eat!’ This week’s theme is EAT! I especially like the ! in the theme. As it turns out I don’t have many photos of underwater eating and not wanting to put up a photo of my lunch I thought I’d put you all off food forever with a photo story of when [...]
