[UW Photo A049] Right time, Right place, But poor conditions..

(Location: Broughton Island, Nelson Bay, NSW, Australia)

I made a significant effort on shooting sharks this summer. Summer is almost gone without any fruit!
Usually, we find its hard to find the subject… but this time I was lucky with it. I found sharks in two occasions.. right time, right place.. BUT water condition was so unfriendly. Poor visibility and muddy water.. so this is the worst nightmare for a underwater photographer.
These photos are best examples of photos taken in bad condition.. not only you cant see the details, but light (flash) has been backskattering. So this is the proofs of failure in this season..
These are Grey Nurse Sharks. Usually they are not aggressive by nature.

[UW Photo A044] Spotted Wobbegong

(Location: Magic Point, Sydney, NSW, Australia)

This is an attempt of getting an macro shot of Spotted Wobbegong (Orectolobus maculatus) in Magic Point, Sydney. Wobbegongs are kinds of Carpet Sharks. Though it is advised to shoot upwards, it is not practical when shooting a creature who is in the sea bed mostly. This is not bad as a try, but it could have been improved with more concentration.
