I have finally put all of my photos from Belize together. I separated the underwater photography from the other pictures. You can click on either of the slideshows below to go directly to the album.





As always, your comments are appreciated!

Enjoy!

Aquatica A40D...

I purchased an Aquatica A40D underwater housing for my Canon 40D in July. I did not have a lot of time to test the system before heading to Bonaire but I did get to the local pool several times to test the equipment for leaks. The system tested out ok and I had no problems with the integrity of the housing. It was only in Bonaire where I noticed a simple but aggrevating problem with the housing. The control on the housing that is responsible for changing the aperature was not properly connecting with the dial on the back of the camera. I would turn the control only to have it slowly and intermittently change the aperture.



I searched the web upon returning home to realize that other owners of this housing have experienced the same problem. I contacted Aquatica and they immediately recognized the problem and told me to send them the back of the housing so they could fix the problem. If you have the same experiences, contact Aquatica and have your equipment serviced.

Pikesville 5k Race Photos...

As part of the Fleet Feet Galloway program, today was the annual Pikesville 5K. Having already completed my mileage for the week, I decided to not run the race and take photographs instead. Oddly enough, some of the runners thought I was part of a professional group that sells race photos. LOL!






All the pictures from the Pikesville 5K are now available at:

All are welcome to use any of the photos from the Pikesville 5K. If you want the image in full resolution (10 megapixel), just email me and I will send them to you. If you ran the race and you like what you see, just leave a comment. :-)

A new lens to the collection...

UPS didn't deliver until late this evening but here are some photos I took with my new Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM lens before the sun when down. I am not a professional by any measure but it is really hard not to look like one due to the quality of this camera and lens. Its amazing!

Turks and Caicos Pictures Posted

I have posted U/W photos from Turks and Caicos (finally). They are open (unprotected) and anyone can view them. Enjoy!
