Timmoranuk 10 Posted November 8, 2009 (edited) CJ entered three photos from his 2009 portfolio in the Visions in the Sea International Photography Competition which was judged this weekend. I am immensely proud to report that his black & white Longimanus won him the Young Underwater Photographer title and a rather posh set of Mares regulators. Needless to say, CJ is thrilled. CJ is 12 years old, has been diving for 5 years and shoots with a G9, Ike, INON UWL-100 and dome, UCL-165s, 330s and a couple of Z-240s. We both thoroughly enjoyed the weekend in Manchester and the company of Alex Mustard, Martin Edge, Cathy Church, Duxy, Maria Munn, Ali Hood, Charles Hood, Mark Koekemoer, Jukka Nurminen, Peter Scoones and their inspiring lectures. Our special thanks to Orca Divers and Ocean Optics for organising a superb event. A full WP report is on the blocks. Watch this space...
