Scuba Diving in Sharm El Sheikh Egypt

I'm back after a fantastic scuba diving holiday in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.
We did our PADI open water course last year and went back to the same hotel (Reef Oasis) to get some more diving in!
The sea seemed a bit colder this year and there seemed to be less fish around than prevoius years which was a shame but we still had a great time scuba diving and snorkeling.
I also tried out my new underwater camera, its a Panasonic Lumix DMC - TS3 It's quite good but i'll have to save up for the underwater camera case for my Canon D60 as i'm so used to using a manual camera and only being able to use an auto mode is frustrating!
I'm glad to say we didn't see any sharks while we were there, although i did get a fright from a 3ft Trigger fish who decided to chase me! I think I scared him away with my bright pink fins kicking franticly as I swam in the opposite direction ... he had big teeth!
I've put all of my underwater photos in to a slide show (audio visual presentation) that you can see on youtube here

And all my photos from around the hotel are on an audio visual presentation here

I thought i'd make these AV's from my un-edited holiday snaps instead of uploading the pictures one by one to the net as it's much quicker and easier for everyone to see.

I also have many pictures here that i'll be uploading to a stock library and my POD sites that are a better quality so keep watching, their will be lots more to see over the next few weeks!

I've had my brake now and have to go back and sort our house out, the builders are in replacing our kitchen and i have lot's of graphics work to do too, i'll need another holiday after all of this!

How to create kaleidoscope fractal art from your photos

Pin It

People always ask me how I create my kaleidoscope fractal art so thought i'd put this tutorial together on my blog for all to see.

I create my kaleidoscopes in photoshop and start with at least one base picture (it's good to choose a picture that has lots of colours, patterns or textures to get a really crazy psychedelic looking work of art.)

You then take a triangle shaped section of this picture, copy it, then rotate and flip it so it mirrors the first section, then keep copying and rotating the sections untill it fills up the canvas.

Watch this youtube video to see exactly how!

When you've made your first piece of fractal art you can then copy and paste it to repeat the pattern or create another kaleidoscope from another photo and combine these images to make something even more interesting.

You'll find even more youtube tutorials and examples on my squidoo site here

www.squidoo.com/top-10-fractal-tutorials

Here's a few examples of my kaleidoscope creations, they're all available to buy in my shop along with lots of other designs.
I hope you enjoy making your own kaleidoscope art.

Lost Generation .. You must watch this, it's fantastic

Pin It

A very good friend of mine sent this to me the other day, I can't stop thinking about it and watching it, its fantastic, so just HAD to share it on here,

Read the text first then watch the short film ... I hope you enjoy watching it as much as i did!

As for me I'm off to London tomorrow to do a photo shoot in the Houses of Parliment, it should be a great day, i'm really looking forward to it, now off to pack my cameras, tripod and make some sandwiches for breakfast as i know i wont have time to eat before I leave in the morning!

A palindrome reads the same backwards as forward.
This video reads the exact opposite backwards as forward.
Not only does it read the opposite, the meaning is the exact opposite.

This is only a 1 minute, 44 second video and it is brilliant!
Make sure you read as well as listen...forward and backward.

This is a video that was submitted in a contest by a 20-year old.
The contest was titled "u @ 50" by AARP. This video won second place.
When they showed it, everyone in the room was awe-struck and broke
into spontaneous applause. So simple and yet so brilliant.
Take a minute and watch it.
