Hi all,

I have just posted a news article about Adobe's announcement that it plans to only offer subscription based access to its programs in future on the front page:

It would be good to get people's reactions to this, either on here, or even better, via the comments (Disqus) feature on the front page!

We have a few places left for the Wetpixel Lembeh Macro Workshop. Hosted by Wetpixel Associate Editor Alex Mustard, this will provide everything you would normally expect on a Wetpixel trip, as well as formal teaching, coaching and encouragement to help you produce stunning images.

The trip is based at Lembeh Resort, and the timing has been carefully selected to ensure maximum subject and photographic potential for the workshop. The dates are 12-23 October 2013, and there are a few spaces left.

For more information, please see the trip's page or contact Dan Baldocchi, who is handling bookings. We expect this trip to fill very son, so if you are wondering whether you want to get better macor images in 2013, please get in contact with him soon!

Hi all,

Do you want to see more whale sharks in one day than most people see in a lifetime. Do you want a series of up-close encounters with them or to record stunning imagery featuring these amazing creatures?

Over the past few years, Wetpixel has run photographer-friendly trips to Isla Mujeres, Mexico in order to observe and record the world's largest aggregation of the world's largest fish. This year, we have a few spaces on the first trip which runs (30 July to 5 August), and 3 spaces on the second trip (5 to 11 August) still available.  These represent an amazing opportunity as they are normally heavily over-subscribed.

Full details of the trips are on the Wetpixel Expedition page.

Below is some video of Eric (and a few whale sharks) from the trip in 2011:

Just to let everyone know that I am currently diving and testing the Underwater Kinetics eLED, Nocturnal Lights M700i and I-Torch Video Pro 5 video lights.

Below are a few images from last week:

The body responsible for responsible environmental practices in the Egyptian Red Sea, HEPCA, has just launched a "name and shame" section on their website.

Their first target is a company that is offering sport fishing for sharks out of Hurghada.

The company is called Egyptra Travel Services and the page offering shark fishing safaris is here:

Please feel free to drop them a line and ask them to stop! Their email is info@egyptra.com

As far as I know, shark fishing in the Egyptian Red Sea is actually illegal, so I don't think they will last long officially.
