I tried out a different lens yesterday, an 80-200mm and I knew in advance to be honest it would prove challenging to get results and it was just that. So that will be the last time on that little experiment. The only ones worth keeping were this one of Brony doing a shark impersonation and a couple of land based ones, where of course it works. But there you go, have to give these things a try. At least I know not to try it in the sea and that was the point of the experiment.
Suffice to say back in Bristol diving is still going well and yesterday saw me working with Ian who is a returning trainee Divemaster and Brony whose skills are amazingly good considering her long lay off from diving. She also has the art of laughing underwater down to a fine science! Ian was introduced to me at the pool fresh with a new mask having earlier discovered that long storage had rendered his old one useless.
Running through skills and gaining confidence was the task before us and not me playing with my camera. I have to say it, diving skills come back very quickly with a little practice and both Brony and Ian looked great. Ian has the task of turning some good quality skills in to demonstration standard and in essence that really will come down to some fine tuning, slowing down and to put it mildly showing off.
