Morning all,
I just wanted to let you know that Wild Ocean Photography will be taking a short break for a couple of months because I'm going to be off doing fieldwork for my PhD and am highly unlikely to have decent internet access during that time. I am however, hoping to come back with rather a lot of photos to show for the time away, so hopefully you'll bear with me during the break!
Essentially, I've got a trip next week to Bass Rock to visit the gannet colony out there (I do like gannets!), then I'm off diving in Scapa Flow for a week after that now I've finally got my diving medical signed off again (yippee!). After that, I'm heading offshore to the Porcupine Abyssal Plain in the waters off SW Ireland for the month of August to collect specimens of abyssal (4000m+) fish species for my project and hopefully get some cool data on the abundance and distribution patterns of the fish at the very bottom of the sea.
After that, we're heading to Tjarno in Sweden for the month of September to do some more work looking at fish distributions in the deep-water fjords there (around 200m) using video and sonar techniques.
So it's a bit of a long break to be away really, but it will make an awfully nice change from being tied to my desk! See you all in October!
