I got burnt after this shoot last week. Spent a few hours in the sun on these sports. It was a welcome change from the morning rain. I put an old unused cardboard box to good use as a sun shade for my computer. This was a box that was on its way to the rubbish dump but I thought it might be useful for the shoot and it was great! perfect size for my notebook to fit in. If I do more of this, I could invest in a proper shade…..or I could just paint the box black. I might just settle for the latter.

Diving was fun. And also quite difficult to shoot. Good thing was the diver repeated many times and anticipating her moves became easier. Nevertheless, I just wished my 5D can shoot 10fps at 21Mpix. That’ll be my dream camera!
