The Wetpixel July 2010 JASA sharks and Dolphins trip led by Alex Mustard has now ended, and full coverage, including images, is now being posted on the forum.
Despite some rough weather, and Jim Abernethy's absence, the trip has once again produced some outstanding images. Emma, the tiger shark which often interacts with groups on this trip was absent, which prompted Wetpixel member Tim Priest (whose images are also used here) to write:
Anticipating Emma.
Light spikes into blue
Over white
Sand,
And purple fronds tease
Grey, massive, ancient
Tiger teeth;
Smiling
Towards the
Black-clad bubbling.
White from blue over white
And back to blue.
Hidden.
Tiger stripes and spots
Fade, blurred.
Age
Old ocean mother
Strong, life-affirming
Muscular matriarch;
Opens
Her mouth to
Camera holding
Strangers from the surface.
Tidings from
Below.
Fishermen pass the reef
Death moves
Close.
Guile is no defence,
Tempted, swift-striking
Hunted hunter.
Blue
The waves wait:
Lines of light
Painting white sand patterns.
Will there be
Return?
