p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Jaws! (7)


I spent a few days in Dauphin Island, AL where fishing is one of the main activities.
Me and my brother in law (more him than me) caught a seven foot shark fishing from the shore. It took us more than 40 minutes (and more than a mile walk) to reel in to shore that fish.
Once on the shore we released it, which was the most difficult part of all.
I had my 7D with the 100-400 and was able to get a few shots. What is interesting is that in some of these shots the shark seems to be smiling, to the point that some of my friends thought I had them photoshopped.
This reminded me of the famous movie Jaws where in the final scene the actor Roy Sheider before shooting the shark(some of you may remember) says that famous phrase; "Smile, you son of a b!t@h!!."
I cloned out the hook and line in some of these as it was hurting me just looking at it.
Hope you find these interesting.

Gosh.... these are crazy shots, Socrate. What is a treat to see that wolf of the sea up-close. And like Morris said, I am happy that you are still with us to share these wonderful photos. I like them a lot.

Wow you caught my attention here Socrate! That is one crazy cool looking shark, what kind is it??

The coloring is very cool, but those eyes are wicked cool!
You startled me with #5 Awesome surprise buddy! Very glad to hear it returned to the waters safely. Nice hazardous shooting

Really enjoyed this sequence Socrate, very well captured (pun intended).
Fascinating views of this beautiful shark, those eyes seem quite unique that I don't remember ever seeing before.
I like what you did with 5 and 6.

Wonderful set, Socrate; thoughtfully yet humorously presented! Most of us do have a tendency to anthropomorphize..."smiling" sharks, etc., and this subject seems eminently suitable.

Some excellent images in the mix Socrate. The first of the special treatment images works better than the other one, IMO, as the shark is all in water, not on land. Some great light and exposures. Well done. Any idea of species?

At least he smiled for you, not sure I could with a hook in my mouth! Good work on both accounts!

You're going to need a bigger boat Socrate!!!

Wow this is different! What a fun time this must have been and you documented it expertly. I'm betting these shots weren't as easy as they look with that bright sun, white and wet skin. Fun set Socrate. Of your creative endeavors 6 is clearly my pick, that guy is bursting out of the monitor!!!!
