She
dives regularly with Linda Dunk and the pair are ideal buddies,
bouncing ideas off each other, discussing photographic problems,
posing for each other and analysing the results together.
Originally, they used to buy contrasting items of equipment,
like a 60min and a 105 mm macro lens, and swop them but now
they have each built up outfits of their own.
Magical
Said
Hilary: "It has been absolutely magic for both of us.
We talk about what we have taken and compare notes.
We
look at each other's pictures and make constructive comments
about them.
We
dive as a buddy pair but our rapport is such that we can each
concentrate on our own particular project while still know
instantly and instinctively where each other is.
It
is a terrific confidence booster to be able to share your
thoughts with some?
one."
Half
her winning slides were taken on night dives. The others,
including a shot of the stem of the Giannis D and a closefocus
wide-angle picture in which Linda Dunk posed for her, were
taken on dives during the day.
Responsibilities
Hilary
began diving in 1980 and is currently chairman and branch
instructor of Potters Bar Branch, as well as area coach for
the BSAC's Eastern Region.
She
originally had a Nikonos V outfit but it was stolen. Subsequently
she replaced it with a Subal housing and her Nikon equipment.
In
addition, she is BSoUP's secretary, having accepted the position
at the last annual meeting.
