I am not sure if the filming couple are used to having themselves photographed whilst at work. In the very small space of time that I had I have tried to capture the essence of their work. I have to thank them for the " intrusion "that they allowed  and the patience that they showed in the course of it.

Antonia and Andy Freem and Colin who helped with the lighting.

I have now a filthy car to wash and a boot load of gear to sort.

I shall return to quote General Mac Arthur.

Ah the red stick thing that's in the photos... I just assumed it was part of the filming that TOR was photographing.

and I assumed that in P1130066 the red bit was just some protective tape.

Well yes a pole for the LED lamp which is used as back lighting. This was kindly loaned by the Cerberus SS as it is a roller pole for painting the new ceiling. ( the CSS ceiling unfortunately fell down a while back. ) Hand lamps are LED Sky Ray which are cheaply obtainable on the net. I use them as well for live composite mode.

Ah... finally spotted that tiny bit of red at the edge of that photo.  No, it didn't ruin the shot for me :)

And as for the 'process being tedious to the viewer', never!  Fabulous pictures, as always.  (y)

If you mean the one of me I have clearly marked it as yours. If another please advise.


Ahh all sorted by phone. Yes the one of me. Sadly Flickr adds the name of the account holder so gives the impression that it is the account holders image. Now I have paid for Flickr Pro I am using that instead of Photobucket.

Well yes Laurie. Do I show my relatively poor images and try to tell a story or hoard them at home perhaps chucking a few on Facebook. Not everyone likes what I do here and, of course, they are welcome to their opinion. I have over 4,000 cave related images now so it is getting a bit hard to manage such a mass. Many will go into Photobooks which may survive myself and the social media. Ultimately you have to live with what you believe in and take the expected knocks you know will arrive. Maybe its something about legacy. What you leave behind when you are gone. Hopefully for the good. My mate had hoards of diving related research he would let nobody see. He died diving and left nothing as a legacy. Many years of work for nothing. Lord knows where his stuff is now. Much of his work was actually repeated as folk never knew it had been done.
