Hi Greg,

Superb photography!!!!! The tow out of Hibernia is gorgeous, you must have
had the luck of the weather Gods on your side for such a calm time.
Although I imagine the tow company planned to go on the quietest weather
day they could get.

The rest of the on board images are all top notch first class photography.

I'm sure you remember the "Ocean Ranger" rig that was lost in bad weather
with all hands some years ago. I spent a some days aboard her shooting a
commercial for the Canadian Petroleum Association. So I appreciate your
photography very much after my experince of working on an off shore
drilling rig.

For those of you who haven't taken a moment to look at some excellent on
site location shooting...sans flash! You can't use any on the drill deck,
period!
So you better know how to read the existing available light.

And has Greg done some beauties.  How much of it is Leica use?

good on you Greg.
