Sunrise

Found the sunrise again using the Photographers Ephemeris. 07.26 is still a manageable time.

Eye-catchers

One of my favourite pastimes is to browse the Interesting or Popular section of large photography sites. It gives me a few minutes of drifting away to situations and moods that might trigger something new. Recently I have begun paying attention to which shots I linger on a bit longer than usual. Reviewing the "keepers" after walking though a couple of hundred shots often reveals a theme or two that together tells a story. For example - here is the result of a Friday morning review of 500px right before work:

None by Ali Shokri	VASPA SUNSET by sarawut Intarob
the song of the whales by piet flour	Fisherman. by Anatoly Sokolov
MakBullu by pink sword	Majestic of Persian Architecture by Abbas Arabzadeh
» The City Awakes by Jeff Krol	Lotus by yuddin tag

Conclusion - looking forward to a calm weekend, water and more colors!

Canon 550D and water

Looked at my full year plan and realized it is going to get warmer - eventually. Saw this amazing video again a few days ago and got a bit inspired:

Apparently there are several different housings available that allows you to use DSLRs underwater with adaptable lens systems. Crazy expensive and I dont even have a divers license but hey - dreams are fun. Shown below is the Ikelite housing.

Just browsed some underwater groups on Flickr - a lot of macro photos. As an example here is a Flickriver link
