Hi Wetpixellers,
These are video clips I took for Martin, that he used in the presentation with Alex Mustard on 6th Nov at Imperial College, London, to demonstrate a few techniques for getting good backgrounds and a couple of other ideas. I was asked if I could pop them on to Youtube with some narration, explaining what the clips are demonstrating, so I thought some of you might find this helpful.
If your connection is slow, you may need to pause it at the start whilst it loads.
Hope you enjoy it. Any suggestions please let me know.

Hi Girelle and Stephen,
Glad you enjoyed it. Martin is so enthusiastic about his photography and a great character to go on a trip with. He's very generous with passing on his knowledge and even though he's been doing it for quite some time now, he's always experimenting and trying new things, I guess that's why he's still so good.
If I ever do this again, maybe I'll see if Martin would do the narration, then you can get the ideas straight from the horse's mouth!!
Enjoy experimenting,
Jo

Jo,
Thank you very much for putting the clip together and posting it. I just got back from Lembeh and can only dream of taking pics like those.
I have literally studied Martin's 3rd and 4th editions, but the results still evade me. Guess I'll have to dive more.
Thanks again.
Harry
