The Rivers Mellte and Hepste, Neath Valley, South Wales

This is the second outdoor test using my camera in an underwater housing. This weekend I travelled to the Neath Valley in the Brecon Beacons, South Wales and photographed the RiversMellte and Hepste. Wearing a wetsuit and carrying the camera in its underwater housing, tripod, spare clothes, food etc. in a rucksack, I walked along the River Mellte, regularly slipping into the water to photograph it's waterfalls, stones, trees and whatever lay beneath the surface.

The Wey Navigation

This willow tree was photographed from below the surface of the Wey
Navigation, the camera looking up through 'Snell's Window' which is a
circle seen from underwater through which the land above can be seen.
The water was fast flowing, sandy and silty. This is the first time I have tried this and the first 'outdoors' test I have done using my Ikelite underwater camera housing.
