James Troi's Visual Diary

Nasty scars on the face of the Earth in favour of humans. Sure it’s “sustainable” pine plantations but they aren’t really sustainable.

We don’t live with nature, we make nature live for us and it’s a little bit wrong.

A beautiful close-up still life showing the patterns of nature.

Australian sea lions play in the sea grass beds off Little Hopkins Island, South Australia. The photographer, David Doubilet, explains how he captured the image: ‘While I was photographing them the leader of the group stood straight up and looked around and then swam straight and fast for the beach with the entire group following. The sea was still and quiet and something told us that maybe we should leave too and we climbed into our boat just as great white shark came into view. The Australian sea lion is one of the rarest and most endangered pinniped in the world’

Awesome photo, I’d love to do some underwater photography, but the housing for my camera costs twice the cost of the camera body. Crazy, but of course it has to be built well I guess so there is little chance of your camera dying in the water.
