Do it for blighty by lomokev Taken on the brighton christmas day swim. From a photographers perspective its all over in about 10 minutes so realistically you can only get about 5 or 6 decent shots each year, its really tricky environment to shot in especially if its rough. Nothing will top the picture I posted two days ago not even in a month of christmass days! Conditions on christmas day where so bad that the event was official called off but that did not stop approximately 100 people going in watched by thousands. Quite a few need help getting out. One individual needed rescuing by brighton swimming club members, he walked off the beach to an ambulance but need help to get there.

Matilda making spilishy splashy by lomokev Shot on Olympus mju ii using some of my precious remaining Agfa Ultra. Great camera but the flash comes on automatically if there is low light when first turning it on. This means I usually take a lot of shots 2x, once with the flash then again with out once I realise that it was turned on. I really like this with flash as shows up the the texture of the surface of the water. View high resolution
