Photography seems to have been a particularly popular hobby amongst Signy Fids over the years even when compared to other bases. Not surprising when the range of photographic opportunities on Signy is so rich and varied. Without going very far off base on almost any day there would be a whole range of scenic and wildlife photo opportunities. This bill from Peter Hobbs in the early 1960's who estimates that about 1/3rd of his earnings on Signy were spent on photography - I think we can empathise with that!
