A couple of kilometres out on a kayak.
Not alone.
Behind me, across the bay, seal song sounded out from the caves.Not for the first time, from somewhere a butterfly fluttered by, heading towards the shore. For what seems an impossible adventure.

Hype for the Future 98K: The Santee and Hopsewee Plantations — South Carolina
Overview Though the Santee and Hopsewee Plantations are located nearby, the historical contexts of either plantation determine many of the cultural and economical differences. The Santee Plantation is on the south side of the South Santee River in Charleston County while the Hopsewee Plantation is situated near North Santee further north in Georgetown County. As with many plantations in the region in South Carolina, the historical context can largely be traced to the eighteenth (18th) […] -

A Stunning Map Of The Atlantic Ocean Seafloor — And One Woman’s Pioneering Quest To Publish It

The geology of the ocean floor is truly spectacular — perhaps even more than land geology. Unfortunately, it's really hard to study.

Imagine waking up on a November morning in Cape Cod, right on the sand, where you can hear the surf and see the clouds, perhaps even the first signs of an impending nor'easter as the leaves rustle about in the wind...

Vortex of Survival: Baitball Frenzy on a North Carolina Shipwreck
We launched with Atlantis Charters (trip organized by Gotham Divers) and headed east into open Atlantic Ocean. This corridor of wrecks concentrates life: currents stack plankton, baitfish ride the structure, and predators cruise the edges. The top of the deck was approximately 85 ft deep, allowing for slight variation. The main action was positioned between 60 and 80 ft.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmKtGsic3pY
The Hunt: How the Vortex Forms
At first, the baitfish flashed in loose silver sheets above the deck. The jacks pressed in from the perimeter. The school cinched into a sphere. Then, it formed a spiraling column—a living vortex—hovering just over the main deck. Strikes came from the flanks and below, using the flat steel as a base to pin the bait upward. The cycle repeated: circle, squeeze, break, reset.
Likely predators: jacks commonly seen on NC wrecks (e.g., greater amberjack or almaco jack).
Tactics observed: herding, pin-wheel circling, quick surge strikes from cover.Why Wrecks Amplify Predation
- Structure = leverage. Flat deck and vertical faces constrain escape routes and keep the baitball suspended just above steel, where predators can tighten the circle.
- Eddies & seams. The wreck’s wake creates small eddies that hold plankton, drawing in baitfish and the jacks that hunt them.
- Refuge–trap effect. The wreck feels like shelter to small fish, so it concentrates bait over hard structure; predators use the same edges and flat deck to corner and compress the school—turning “refuge” into a trap (an ecological trap).
Camera & Lighting Setup
- Camera: Panasonic GH5
- Lens: 14–42mm kit zoom paired with Nauticam wet wide lens (for fast switches to true wide FOV)
- Lights: Bigblue video lights for clean fill on the baitball’s outer skin and to hold color on the wreck details
- Approach: I stayed low to avoid splitting the school. Just hooover on the main deck of the ship wreck
Dive Conditions & Safety Notes
- Run: ~1 hour offshore from Atlantic Beach, NC
- Depth: ~80 ft to the deck; mid-water action above the superstructure
- Exposure: 5 mm wetsuit was comfortable
- Awareness: Mind surge along hull edges; track gas and NDLs closely at this depth.

Morning Photos
Finally! The sky was clear at sunrise on a weekend. I took four, count ’em four, cameras out with me. My digital, Nikon Z5, my two 35mm, Dad’s Pentax K1000 and my Nikon FG-20, and my new/ebay medium format experiment, Lomo Lubitel 166 Universal.
The 35mm cameras each had a roll already started. My goal was to finish them off. The Lubitel… what the hell, Robert. I’ve had the camera for months and had not completed even a single test roll. I had already messed up the first roll by over advancing it once and blowing a shot, and then flashing the film when the camera back popped open on its own once. My goal was to finish that roll and then put a second roll through and hope that something worked on one of them enough to let me know if the camera actually works or not. Besides all of that film fun, I just wanted to take a bunch of pics with my Z5 because it’s super fun.
I completed all of those goals. I now have four rolls of film to develop. I’ll place an order today and ship them out tomorrow. The two 120 rolls were fucked up even more than I already knew. I didn’t have any trouble with the second one… or so I thought. The camera can be setup to shoot in 6×6 format or in 4.5×6. I was using the 4.5×6 numbers for advancing the film after each (well… most… there are going to be a bunch of double exposures because I am too stupid to operate a manual camera, I guess) but upon further review, the camera is clearly set up to shoot a square format… so every single shot is going to overlap. Moron.
Anyway… here are a bunch of digital pics.

These are from a little spot on route 1A just south of Hampton Beach. I don’t know if it is in Seabrook or in the town of Hampton Beach, but you can see the Seabrook nuclear power plant from here so… kaboom.

After that spot I drove home, but didn’t go home. I went to the Spicket Falls Dam in downtown Methuen. We’ve had massive rains over the last week so the river was roaring.

At this point I still had a few shots left in two of the film cameras so I went over to Greycourt Park where I got my brand new sneakers soaking wet by walking around in the grass. It was nice.

I drove North from Hampton Beach looking for a place to pull off that had a nice view. There were a bunch of potential spots, but they all had no parking signs. This spot had a no parking sign too but I was a total rebel and pulled over anyway. If you know this area, you’ll recognize the spot.

I stopped in three places this morning. I will post each stop separately, though almost all of the pictures I took were at this first spot.
Stop number one was the same spot as last week’s cloudy sunrise failure. Hampton Beach. Just a smidge north of the main beach area. Last week the tide was out and the clouds were in. This week the tide was in and the clouds were nowhere to be seen. I got there about 10 minutes before the sun came up. I only had a short stretch of very rocky beach between me and the sea wall. It was enough.

This next photo is a very happy accident. I had put my digital camera (Nikon Z5) down to take some pre-sunrise film pics (Dad’s Pentax K1000). It was getting very close to sunrise time so I switched back to digital and just put it up to my eye and focused on the horizon. I was looking due East (totally by accident) at the exact moment the sun broke the water. Like, the exact moment. I saw it through the view finder. I did not see a green flash though.
This photo is from about one heartbeat after the sunrise started. Can you see the little guy off in the distance?
https://www.flickr.com/photos/robj_1971/54061373479/in/album-72177720321127970/
This photo demonstrates my one screw up in a very positive way. When I am at home taking pictures of the cats I keep the ISO on my Z5 pretty high. 1600, usually. When I go outside I lower the ISO to 100 or 200, depending on how much light there is. I just like the way things look when the ISO is way low. Today… I forgot to lower it. All of these are at ISO 1600, which means the camera takes in more light (ISO is supposed to be like film speed, the higher the number the more light) which meant I could use a way faster shutter speed, which means the birds who randomly photo bombed me are not blurry at all.

And there we have it. The first of three posts from this morning’s photo fun. I am very pleased with how these came out, even if the ISO is way too high. The next post will be from the side of the road (route 1A) a few miles north of this spot. The second post is from a few miles south at a little beach spot in Seabrook, across the water from the nuclear power plant and where there is a little marina or something with lots of boats tied up for the night.
I just hope all of the film shots came out okay.

Sunrise is at 5:10am tomorrow.
Photos at the ocean?
I don’t know if I will be able to wake up at 4:00am in order to get there in time, but if I do I’ll have a digital camera and a film camera and it will be cool.
