Thank you very much for all the nice comments, means a lot to me. Capt. Mike, that is a white shark. The image was made September 2007 at Isla
Guadalupe off the west coast of Baja on a caged white shark trip out of Ensenada with San Diego Shark Divers. I was in a cage (at the end, the best
position), the shark was very close, the shark's nose was maybe three feet from me. The shark is about 18 ft. long. I was using a Fuji S2 DSLR
camera in a Subal housing, with a Nikon 12-24mm lens at 12mm (that's VERY wide, which is why the entire shark was in the frame). I was using two
strobes (Sea & Sea YS-90DX) at low power and I think that nicely lit the front end of the shark and brought out a lot of detail (the range of the
strobes is only about 5 ft.). We were there for three full days, and I had MANY opportunities like this (sharks were around the boat constantly) but
this one was my favorite.

I did too, Igor. I really liked the #2 open image with the turtle/sunburst.

why not consider doing the squid dive adventure trip with GTB's Dale Pearson and famed dive explorer Scott Cassel at Santa rosalia?
if you have seen the video or Nat Geo discovery TV specials you know what it is all about. Diablo Rojas. and Killer Squid.
i can fly us down. that will be me IN the boat....not out of it!!

Yes, I thought so... This is what had me asking: "The image was made last September"
I presume you meant 2007?
Keep up the great photo shooting!
