Oceanic White Tip Shark

[Ken Hawk]

Hi all
I am more into underwater photography, but love all wildlife, and have a few bird pics as well ;)




Thanks Ken

Wow, beautiful capture, love the little ones tagging along.

Big welcome to BPN, we will enjoy your images very much I can tell :)

Welcome to BPN Ken. I like the curvature of the body - implies motion and adds dynamics to the image.

Hi Ken

Big Warm Welcome !!! Nothing like wide angle shark images !!! Guessing Extreme wa in dome port or 15 UW Nikonos !!! Just beautiful and well done !! About all I could wish for is the flash aimed a little higher !!! Big Congrats and sure looking forward to some more !!! Will need to dig some of mine !!!

The pic was taken with a 20D & 17-40L in a Ikalite housing using 1 strobe (can't afford a 2nd one at the min)
Shot in Manual at ISO 200 f8 1.50th in Raw

A link to the story behind the photo + a few more

Ken, I love the curve in his body and the little fish swimming w/ him. Nice colors also!

Beautiful (and a bit crazy ;) )

I really like the cool blues contrasted by the warmer light on the nose. Well done!

Looks a bit noisy at ISO200, but what a great 1st post. We don't see that many underwater images down here, so please keep 'm coming! The other fish really balance the shark well.

Man! I cannot see the image, but the thumbnail kicks butt! :) I love sharks and the OW is one of my faves. Hats off to ya if you were mad enough to photograph out of a cage. These guys are wicked and unpredictable. Just freakin' eating machines, that's all. :)


BTW the 'little' fish are Pilot Fish.
