Nice! That photographer is rather brave going onto the water with all that expensive kit.

Don't worry: SonyMan is there to take care of him

Beautiful pictures, both swimmer and pier.

I was looking at the shot and thinking there was a white boat reflected in the goggles - does it look like that to you?

I see what you mean, but it was just condensation. It looks like he has bifocal lenses.

I thought something similar at first, or thought that perhaps you could see the pier and the photographer, but I concluded it was condensation and water level and parts of his eyes peaking through the condensation.
