Well I'm just back from Guadalupe island with Patric from sharkdiver.com
There were about 10 + different white sharks there over the 3 days we were there. Good opportunity's as the vis was great the first 2 days. Hell of a travel from Ireland though
Just wanted to post couple of pics for you guys to view, of course comments too are welcome ;-)
Oh..I used my Canon 400D and the standard kit lens EF-S 18-55mm. I brought my ef-s 10-22mm but was happy using the 18-55 so didn't bother changing it...Also didn't want 10mm funky images coming out
Cheers

Some killer shots there Derek, well done

I like the first image most.
Seems like a great experience.
Great stuff, well done.

Derek,
Killer images. Reminds me of my first time to Guadalupe in 2002 with a Nikon D100 and using the "tighter" framing Nikon 18-35mm lens. Everyone using wider lenses got pics of White sharks looking like guppies
Happy to see it is still 99% photographer, and that cheap little Canon 18-55mm when shot at f8 or so can produce very good images. I even saw a WEDDING photographer post a link the other day where he has been using that lens for 3 years creating incredible photos and getting PAID good $$$ for them
Will check out your other posts.....I'm sure they're great, too.

Nices photos, expecially the 1th. Love the "smile" in the second one
Thanks for the comments. From what I have been hearing, i believe we were quite lucky on the trip. Good viz, very sunny, pilot whales, dolphins, lots of beer, lots of sharks (18 to 20), fun people and non stop action in the cages!!
Cheers
Derek
great shots....your second looks like a stare-down....wonder who would be the first to blink?...ha
Great stuff Derek. Absolutely love the pose on that 2nd one! Priceless!
Excellent shots. I'm heading back to Guadalupe on Oct. 18th with Great White Adventures. Hopefully, we'll get some conditions as nice as yours.
