Canon 400D, Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-f/4.5 USM lens - 1/80 second, f/9, ISO 100

The second of two reprocessed shots taken in Egypt this year. The reprocessing really was just to bring it back to how it was in reality.

This was at the other end of the day with the sun disappearing over the mountains behind Sharm-el-Sheikh airport. As the sun dropped out of sight you get these rays of light in the clouds due to the difference in angle.

Canon Digital Ixus 500, 1/400 second, f/2.8

This photo was hastily snapped just before we dived on Jackson Reef. It's about 5am in the morning; the early start was so we could see the sharks that are around this early.

This is one of a collection I've re-processed with Photoshop.

Claire and I are just back from a week in the Red Sea scuba diving. We had a fantastic time diving wrecks such as the Thistlegorm and the multitude of reefs around Sharm el-Sheikh. We even had a close encounter with a school of hammerhead sharks. I completed my PADI Advanced Diver qualification.

The full set of photos are on Flickr as usual but I also managed to take a little underwater footage below. Not the most exciting piece of video ever but it's a start.

[Edit: Google Reader won't allow soapbox embeds so I've added a link to the video.]
