We've had lots of wind again and so we've been out trying to nail new moves before we leave for our winter holidays (starting in the UK brrr!!). I also spent a while in the tower a few days ago and got some nice shots from a new angle. Its hard to get as close to the tower as we'd like but Phil did a good job and i really like the shots. We have a tower to put in the water but it is not so stable and scares the life out of me so we will have to put up with this! No one else offers to go up and picture me though so i guess i'm not the only one scared although the equipment is all mine which definitely adds to my fear!

El Tur from up high
We went for a hill/mountain climb after a lightwind day. It was a bit of a scramble but the views were amazing and it was really nice chilled out way to finish the day and start the evening. The views are of the wave bay and the moses bay where our hotel is, as well as the inland view of El Tur, the administrative capital of the Sinai.

The wind is back :)
Finally the wind has come back, in true egyptian winter style its cool and gusty, but also very very strong! Today I am holding back from going out as even on the smallest sails available its not fun. I will wait till later or tomorrow, as i'd rather do this than injure myself!
We managed to get some night shots last week, which was quite fun although unfortunately technical problems meant we didn't get so many as we'd hoped...maybe later we can try again!
I have ordered a new lens to play with, a 6mm fisheye, which I am really excited to see the results we can get from watershoots and and also just other fun shots with it. I will pick this up when i get to the UK so this is going to be amusement until our trip to Cape Town where I hope for some awesome results.
Watch this space :)
