Please join me in welcoming Wags as the newest video moderator here at Wetpixel! Wags is an ever-helpful presence in the video forums, and through his website, HDVUnderwater, he has even provided Wetpixel members with free video-hosting space.



He's got a real name (Paul Waghorn), but most people call him WAGS. Wags grew up in the wheat belt of Western Australia on a farm and worked in the mining industry for a few years before working in the dive industry in Cairns for 3.5 years. Eventually, he arrived in Exmouth on the Ningaloo Reef in 1995. In addition to being an SSI instructor, Wags works full-time in filming, editing, graphics, computers, websites, and e-commerce design. His underwater material has been on many local and overseas networks. Wags shoots with a Nikon D70 in a Sea & Sea housing, Sony HDV-FX1 in an Amphibico Phenom housing.

That was a baby Owl I film for German TV. These people even had Wegtail Eagles as Pets....wild we had to get in a huge cage with them..No we did not feed the Eagles the baby Owl.

Well done Paul - nice hat !

The owl shot would probally have worked very nicely as vertical !

[MikeVeitch]

You don't have the fancy duct taped weight on your dome that i do.... must be cuz of the lights...

WTG Wags. What is the secret club call sign?

[pmooney]

Psst...

Fanboys are you there ?

[wagsy]

I think this forum thing is becoming addictive....I'm trying to work on a ecommerce site on the other computer and keep comming back to this one.

Yeh I've had that hat for years....

What that's Mike, you have a lump of lead sticky taped to your port?, least yours has not popped off yet

Cannot say what the secret callsign is. it's a secret and I'm bound by oath....

Kelly took the pic..could crop it.

Well done wags,

Top man for the job.

Nice to see Kelly has gone with the 'Something about mary' Hair style. Must have used a lot to keep that hold...

Hey Paul,
Welcome to the gang, looking forward to "working' with ya.

I've got a couple of questions posted to the editing forum seeing as I am more of a shooter and you seem to be the man in the know on that side side of things.

Hope all is well and things are running smooth down there.

Best,
Mark.
