Wow - thanks 
That just tops off a brilliant day
The local paper are going to publish a centre spread of my caving images.
And a crazy idea I had for an underground shot of the Priddy Folk Festival organisers stood next to the festival banner in Swildons 40 has gone from a pipe dream to fixing a date and it will happen!
Ah - if only more days were like this

Whatever happened to the Flickr Widget that displayed photos from the UK Caving Flickr pool? I really liked that - it was a good place to show off your photos and it brightened up the homepage a lot...

Cheers!
Then you appreciate how hard it was to get this image
This was my second attempt and it's still not right; third attempt coming soon...
The sediment will settle, we took a trip down to sump 2, avoided going upstream, there was no one else in the cave, and I sat in the water motionless for five mins waiting for the sediment I stirred up to clear.
Next trip I want to try sitting on the down stream side of the sump as the sediment I stir up will wash away from me; but I'm not sure if this will be better as the caver in the image will stir things up quite badly approaching the sump; I'm hoping I can grab the shot before the sediment arrives.
I believe the scum only appears in 'sporting' conditions; only seen it once myself and I didn't dive the sump :-\

I definitly typed a reply to this earlier... must have got distracted before pressing the post button!Subpopulus Hibernia said:
Flickr (or more correctly Yahoo) disabled anything and everything to do with IFrames a few years ago (when the widget stopped working), which was how the old flickr widget worked and have moved to the API system which gives then the control that for someone to display a feed on another site they need a flicker account in order to get an API key. its easy enough to use a widget with an API key though. if you need any help with this during the remodelling pegasus or badlad send me a pm.
Was that a boring enough reply?

Hahaha it looks like the model went proper 'cave diver mode'
Did they submerge themselves and stay motionless while you got the shot? It does look very clear in there and interesting to see from that angle, I don't see anything when I'm going through as I wear contact lenses and close my eyes tightly to stop them floating out.
Definately a contender for the photo salon at HE this year!

I've removed the Swildon's sump one shot and replaced it with an Easter Grotto shot - sorry for any confusion when reading the posts above. Am now locking the topic so it doesn't get even more confusing in future! This thread will simply be for posting photos onto the home page to brighten it up, until we find a better way to do it.
If you'd like to comment on any 'home page' photos, please start a new thread, thanks folks
