So with my new 40D housing, I wasn’t happy about the Ikelite strobe bulkhead and where it entered the housing. My concern was that over time, with movement (due to close fit to camera) I’ll have a breakage where the cable enters the Silicon.

As Aquatica can’t do much for me since its a genuine Ikelite part, I needed to do something to stabilise that end of the cable.

I added some silicon, but I wasn’t happy, so I cleaned that up as best I could and have added 2 x 3M claspy type thingies that now firmly hold the cable.

The 40D fits in very snugly against the cable with minimal or no movement. The little clasp’s also hold the cable out of the way for camera loading and minimise risk of the cable catching when closing the back. All in all a good result in my opinion!

  Here are a couple of shots from the past weekends, one of the usual Sea Star close ups and one of a Seahorse at Clifton Garden’s. What do you think of the Seahorse shot?  There is something about it that I like, although as a couple of people said, it may benefit from some cropping at the sides. 

Rob Stewarts documentary, Sharkwater, has finally made it here to Australia!

The doco doesn’t actually open to general release for another few days, but I was lucky to made it to the Sydney Premier last week. I was delighted to find out that the major cinema chains really are pushing Sharkwater, and every day since the premier there have been reviews on public TV.

Sharkwater delivers an important message that I’m not going to get into now suffice to say I will be dragging my mates who laughed at me for walking out of a restaurant that served Sharkfin soup to the cinema!

Say NO to Sharkfin soup and say NO to any business that supports or sells it! Pass it on!
