    So tricky, trying to get the perfect photo of flags in motion. I have a lot more photos, but still guess I’ll have to do a bit of photoshopping.

  • Free diver and shark researcher William Winram’s new film Great White Sharks

    Life as William Winram must be breathlessly exciting. One day you’re ocean diving (without an oxygen tank) to a world record (145 metres down in three minutes, eight seconds); the next you’re swimming with great white sharks and living to tell the tale. There used to be some big-wave surfing too, but he’s given that up; a man can’t be too careful, you know.
