Porth yr Ogof cave resurgence

These photographs show the resurgence of Porth yr Ogof cave in the Brecon Beacons, South Wales. A resurgence is where water returns to the surface after traveling underground through a cave. These were further test shots using a D80 camera in an Ikelite underwater camera housing. Some utilise split level photography, where the camera is partly submerged, while others look towards the surface from below through 'Snell's Window', an optical phenomena, in which the world above water can be seen from below.

Porth yr Ogof cave entrance

Experiments with split level photography at the entrance of Porth yr Ogof, a cave on the southern edge of the Brecon Beacons National Park in South Wales. It was a very dull, rainy day. Dressed in a 7mm wetsuit with a hood, mask and snorkel I spent the afternoon swimming around the cold pool at the cave entrance with my digital SLR in its underwater housing. The housing was attached to a tripod and sank quite well - unlike me. I had a 4-kilo weight belt but it wasn't really enough to be able to sink easily and look through the viewfinder - my underwater handstands amused the local cavers....

Sailing the English Channel

A week aboard the Frigate of Cowes, a lovely 32ft sailing boat, which we sailed from Southampton across the English Channel to Cherbourg, Guernsey and the Channel Islands, back to the mainland and around the Isle of Weight.

This was my first sailing trip and was super cool ☺ special thanks to Adrian for organising it, Matt, Loz, Neil and Chris for fun, songs and teaching me a bit about sailing.
