Time to post a few more of my favourite images from 2006. Some of these have already appeared on the Tropical Imaging blog, but on this site I have space to give you a bit more background info about each shot.

As there are quite a few photos in this post, you’ll need to click the link below to see the images.

I don’t go diving as much as I probably should - but when I do it’s fun to take a video camera along. So I thought I’d post some footage I shot last September on a two-tank trip with Turtle Divers.

I just read about this blog on the Digital Wedding Forum - it made me laugh out loud.

It takes a bunch of photographs by famous photographers like Henri Cartier-Bresson and Bill Brandt and subjects them to the kind of “critique” meted out by online photo forums and those “reader’s photo” pages in the amateur photography comics.

Priceless. I’d have loved to hear Cartier-Bresson’s reaction if someone had told him his “autofocus was on the wrong subject”.

Since this blog is new, I thought I’d get things rolling with a look at some of my favourite images from last year. Some of these have already appeared on the Tropical Imaging blog, but here I can go into a little bit more detail about each image, and throw in a few technical details (for those that are interested).

On Sunday the Tropical Imaging gang went to Sapodilla Bay for a barbecue - rum, beer, sun, sand, and stingrays in the water… The point-and-shoot was playing up and producing weird-coloured images with stripes before dying completely, so I only got a couple of shots and this was the one I liked best - of my friend & colleague Ileana.

Canon S500 point-and-shoot, F3.5 at 1/160th sec. ISO not recorded but probably 100.
