Bioluminescence Kayak Tour

A relatively recent addition to Grand Cayman's eco-tour offerings is a night-time kayak tour into bioluminescent hot spots with guide, Tom Watling.  It is a bit of a technological challenge and trick to capture the dim blue glow that we easily see with our eyes, by using a long exposure while the guys are frozen via a tiny flick of tightly directed flash.  It's not as easy as it sounds.  Tom did his best "glow angel" in the shallows to show off the intensity of the glowing microbes lighting up in response to his movements.   Bioluminescence featured heavily in the forests of the epic 3D film, Avatar, which totally thrilled me.

Cayman Arts Festival

















The Cayman Arts Festival was, as usual, a fantastic opportunity for us to hear a number of world class musicians performing in Grand Cayman. Here are just a few frames from the 6 events between Feb 5th and 13th, 2010, that I had the pleasure to attend and documented for the organizers. I'm pretty sure that I speak for the majority when I say that the solos from 9 year old and 12 year old violinists from Youth2Youth were among the many high points of the week.
