Sixgill Sharks in Seattle
August 13-16, 2008 Wetpixel's Eric Cheng and Matt Segal are currently out with Simon Rogerson (editor of Dive Magazine) in Seattle in an attempt to photograph six gill sharks (Hexanchus griseus). We're out here with Hydrus on the M/V Katherine Jane. Stay tuned -- I've managed to rig up a wireless network here and will be updating this page as frequently as possible with video and still image clips (pseudo-live). In order to upload as much media as possible, much of it will be rather raw; I apologize in advance. The video feed is on the front page: http://wetpixel.com/i.php/full/six-gill-sharks-in-seattle/ UPDATE: I'm going to inline the video feed here, to make things easier: -- |
