100,000 Hits just about to clock over!
Not a bad way to celebrate 100,000 hits on my blog since July 2009.
Since then I have done:
718 posts
…and had 7,861 comments!
I am at Rottnest Island at present with my wife, daughter, a couple of her friends and the Flembot.
The day started with an awesome dive and managed to scruff a hold of these 2 monsters, that will be on the menu tonight!
That was followed by an awesome shoot with the Flembot with some great clouds and conditions developing with the Thunderstorms that are due tomorrow….stay tuned for those shots!
Thanks heaps to all of my loyal blogging community. I am somewhat humbled that I have the following I do and I promise to keep up the work to make the blog interesting to follow!
Onwards to 200,000!
Those crays are kakers by the look of it, the old camera up close trick !! :).

I am telling yer son that I could only fit those 2 and 3 others and the bag was full!
There was a 3m stingray who was very keen on what was in the bag as well and I had to fight him for about 10 minutes before I got back to the boat…jeeze I hate big stingrays!

Thanks Peter,
Interesting concept!

Perhaps you can let me know a bit more about it.
I would be happy to do a presentation if somebody wanted me to!

well done big buddy, on the hits and the crays. Not fair though pointing them at the wide angle lens makes anything look bigger. These are probably undersized haha! Still they look tasty, yummy!
Christian said this on February 21, 2011 at 9:47 pm |
Mate they were big enough all right…my bag was full to the brim with these 2 and 4 others…we ate like Kings that night!
