after being asked for the umpteenth time by my regular dive buddy Cal did you see the whatchamacallit on Wetpixel I thought it was about time I had a proper look and registered
rather than have just a cursory skim through. Like my buddy Cal I hail from Melbourne in the state of Victoria which is in the south eastern corner of Australia, I'm a regular diver getting
out most weekends and some weeknights, weather and girlfriend permitting, mostly doing shore dives and occasionally getting out on a club boat. I have a deep fascination for the natural
world and love the water so naturally got into SCUBA. A little over 18 months ago I took the leap into UW photography following in the footsteps of my late auntie & uncle who were
keen UW photographers themselves. I use a Fuji E900 in an Ikelite housing with a DS-125 strobe and Inon WA and macro wet lens, this set-up has far exceeded my expectations and
enabled me to capture some great images to share with family, friends and peers. Some of you may already know me from other forums and I look forward to sharing and learning with
you all. Please feel free to browse my images on Flickr and comment/critique on them.
I'll also post some of my faves by way of introduction as well.
Cheers,
Jim
