Hello all, over the last few months I had some time to completely overhaul my website using Wordpress and Graph Paper Press and integrating it all with my Photoshelter account in order to have my image library fully searchable all from one easy location as well as an easy place to link to my blog and social media sites

 

Would appreciate any feedback on the results!

Thanks

For those interested, I have written a blog post with my 10 personal favourite photos from the past year, along with the stories behind the images as well as a bit of insight on the year in review over on my blog, it gives a bit of insight into working in the dive industry as well

Here are a couple of them along with the story behind them:

I spent a lot of my time in 2012 shooting wide angle photography, in fact, as I peruse my photos I seem to have shot macro a total of 3 times in 2012, on the 11th, 12th, and 13th of January in Horseshoe Bay! As part of my wide angle series, I shot a lot of scenics and was always in search of interesting hard coral scenes. For some reason I just love a healthy hard coral garden, when others get bored of all the hard coral, I am just amazed with the foundations and designs and can spend all day taking natural light photos of healthy reef. Here is my favourite of 2012:

Coral Reflecting on the Surface, South Loloda Islands, Halmahera Province, Indonesia

One dive also stands out for an amazing cave filled with golden sweepers, no words necessary.

Have you ever been on a plane where they show a bunch of underwater scenic reef shots? I have come up with my own short video of similar short scenics set to some soothing music to calm the masses have a look!

Here is a short interview and portfolio on the Sport Diver magazine website:
