David Knowles has recently returned from his travels along the river Thames from Windsor to Henley. He has collected a series of images including Swan upping at Henley, where he was in position to see the full capture , documentation, measurement and release of a family of swans.

Swan Upping is carried out during the third week of July and is carried out to allow the Queen to exercise her right to ownership of all unmarked swans. Her majesty also allows the Dyers and Vintners companies to exercise their rights as given to them to mark swans. Marking now is limited to ringing; not the historical practice of cutting notches in the swans bill.

Paul Gilbert of `Aquamarine Photography', shoots boats, lives boats, and breathes boats, on the water and from behind the lens of his camera.

Working out of Auckland `The City of Sails' in New Zealand, he has recently expanded from a base of 10 years aboard his yacht, to include a new studio ashore and a new website at
www.aquapx.com.

His stunning atmospheric imagery captures the essence of maritime life. Individual images or picture stories are organized in his galleries, text to accompany these can be supplied as a package.

www.aquapx.com is a fully e-commerce website, featuring light-box, public and private galleries and downloadable files to 20 meg. There is a shopping cart and PayPal at checkout for rapid overnight delivery to the northern hemisphere.
