A few from a Bahamas shark feed

23 January 2013 - 10:00 AM

While I definitely prefer seeing sharks acting naturally, I have to admit that the shark feed was pretty cool  Photography-wise, it almost felt too easy to get close-ups of sharks.  However, it is virtually impossible to get a bubble-free picture with a lot of divers there, and sometimes having too many sharks and a feeder made it difficult to get  a background that wasn't too "busy," so there were some photographic challenges.  As always, constructive criticism is welcome.

Disturbing Shark/Dolphin Slaughter in Indonesia

09 November 2012 - 06:57 AM

This article is graphic and sickening...sad to see the juvenile whale shark and a HUGE mako slaughtered.  It is to feed a village, and not for commercial reasons as I understand, but is indirectly the cause of commercial fishing exhausting other sea life the village used to eat.  One wonders if some kind of aid could be established to provide them with an alternate food source....

Rangiroa & Fakarava - Dec 2011

It has taken forever for me to get around to going through these.  This trip was probably my favorite that I've ever done (upstaging even Palau).  The big stuff, currents, and general scenery above and below was just amazing.  As usual, constructive comments and criticism are welcome :P
