My first shark

[SeaYoda]

I got the replacement strobe wet today - I have not rebuilt the arm yet so it sits on the handle next to the camera.

I've given up hope for a speedy recovery of the SB photo gallery and the attachment function. I opened an account with photobucket and linking to it to post pictures here.

I saw my first shark today - unfortunately it was dead and was being eaten by the local fish and crabs. Here's the pic:

While I realize you are disappointed about it not being alive, that is still an amazing shot.

I had no fear of this shark and I imagine it gets harder to take pictures of them when they are moving .

Wow what a pic Yoda!
Definitely gripping and powerful.

The cycle of life continues unabated...

nice picture yoda, but did the shark scare you so bad that you had to beat it to death, ha ha ha

Your shark was bigger than my first shark. I'm jealous, sorta.

Ish... we have sharks in Yap.. you should visit here...

Yoda, great shot! Any idea what killed it? Discarded by fisherman or natural?
