Looks like the Needles?  (But I'm probably wrong!  )

I thought it looked a bit like Old Harry?
I'm fascinated by the "back from the developer" bit... you're using film?

The ' rocky outcrop' is Old Harry-Studland.
We were around by Poole bar buoy when I took them.
Yeah I'm still using film-cheap disposable waterproof camera.
That way if it gets trashed then its only a few quid gone-and they float.I was up to my chest in the water when I took the beach pic.
My digital camera isn't waterproof and I'd rather fill my tanks twice than buy a new one...
Handling is great-the flap thing seems to work really well.
I can back off the throttle once on the plane and stay on the plane at 10mph with hardly any throttle
as long as I sit forward on the seat-and the holeshot from a hard turn is loads better as the hull doesnt have time to fill.

The beach looks like Studland
I was interested to read that a lot of photographers are going back to film for some photographs because the quality of digital is comparatively so bad the article said that in ideal conditions a 35mm negative was the equivalent of 20 million pixels  and that wet photo print paper exceeded printers dpi considerably Des

Good idea... the waterproof housings are great, but cost as much as the camera!

When you can get them !!!
If anyone knows of a local camera shop that might stock a Nikon WP-CP4 waterproof housing for a Nikon 7900 i would most appreciate their phone number. I have today phoned 20 or so online stores and cannot find one in stock anywhere !!!

Assuming you've already Googled it.....
Have you tried Ocean Leisure which is next to Embankment tube station
http://www.oceanleisure.co.uk/
They have a section with camera housings. I suspect their prices might not be the keenest though.

This is absolutely true, Des. Digital still can’t beat a good 35mm transparency. Would this be an appropriate time to mention that I have a Nikon F3 film camera with MD4 motor drive and a selection of Nikon lenses for sale?

This was what I used-they arent waterproof to diving depths but for daytime boat use they are perfect.

Their camera section is run by a company called "Cameras Underwater" and these were one of the 20 or so that I allready tried.
There must be a problem with Nikon not supplying these things as no one has them in stock anywhere.
Thanks for the suggestion though - keep 'em comming

Roy,
Grays of Westminster are good, they may be able to point you in the right direction if they can't supply one. ( http://www.graysofwestminster.co.uk/welcome.html )
Failing that, try Nikon UK - surely they can throw some light on this?
Ian
