On the search for Swellies photos please!

[Chantal Borciani]

Hi all

I am on the hunt for a high res image of the Swellies in full flow with the Menai Bridge in shot. I'm afraid mine look a little gentle!

If you have any photos you think maybe suitable please could you email them directly to me at chantal_borciani@ipcmedia.com

We will be happy to credit your photo.

Any help will be much apreciated.

Best wishes

Chantal

Most people follow the pilot advice to make passage at slack water. I have been in at max flow, but I was in a kayak, playing in he standing waves & would not ave been able to use a camera - even if I could have afforded a waterproof camera (they were expensive specialist gear at that time)

No bridge & quite close to Slack water (about 1 hr early) but this does show the current! Kwacka quite often does it in a rib when in full flow, but not sure what pics he has - if any.

Yeh, probably got a few worth looking at!
Anyway
As it appens
Due to go afloat Wednesday, forecast says bright and cheerfull.
Tides are between neaps and springs so there should be some movement thereabouts.
Testing/calibrating a new engine on one boat and trying different props on another

Has it got anti shake on it? Might need it now you have taken the pledge.

Make sure you get the water bit level in the viewfinder


No joking aside I bet you can get a picture of having to go uphill on the water by Swelly rock or Bridges.

It doesn't get any gentler than this.

Now that's what I call immaculate timing.

A few years ago a fire service inflatable got wrapped around the swellies rock perch. That was a good example of the force of water. It's on here/Internet somewhere.

Swelly Swellies

I've got some, but they are the back up drive.
I'm send you some over tomorrow night, pretty sure the bridge is in the background.

Just for info, where are they going to be printed?
