Critter Cam

Here is what I got up to yesterday.

Sorry cannot give out any more details....but that's a critter cam.

HOW DARE YOU ATTACH A CAMERA TO A SHARK!??

Just kidding.

Oh, I mean, just foreshadowing.

Can't wait to see the footage!

Is that staying on with just a suction cup ... ?

I am with Eric .. can't wait to see the footage .. what a day in the office hey Wagsy !

Really looking forward to seeing the fruits of all your work over the last year, Mark.

ALEX what are you drinking/smoking over there...MARK is not me

I don't think I can get my hands on the footage.

I was out there to film it all.

Yes it was just a suction cap with a timer.

Had our very own plane, boat, with just the 4 of us with a perfect circling whale shark that followed us around like a puppy dog...not to mention special permission to do what we were doing.

Yes it was a tuff day.

Far too much time spent in exotic locations taking pictures - it's doing damage.

I hope you got a model release from the WS.

I assume it's a laser as well?

Hey Wags,

Is that your's or are you doing this with a scientific team or something?

Will you be able to upload any of th footage?

I assume it's a laser as well?

Dr. Evil: "You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads! Now evidently my cycloptic colleague informs me that that cannot be done. Ah, would you remind me what I pay you people for, honestly? Throw me a bone here! What do we have? "

Yes it's really a laser to ZAP any of the snorkelers or shark finners that may come too close.

It's not mine, just testing it out with these guys.

Don't know where the footage will end up.

Here is another vid grab.

Austin Powers got nothing on you Wags, good job and for the work and that it leads to good things for the sharks...

They say everyone has fifteen seconds of fame in their lives. Shame we look so alike !!! Yikes. Next time try it with one of these striped ones.

Cheers mate,

The Real Mark.

OK, ok...you are both making me very jealous and competitive. Wait till I post an image of me mounting a critter cam to giant squid or blue whale...just you guys wait..Hahaha.

Okay Mark you have outdone me .....hey how was that attached?

Double sided sticky tape

Fin clamp, not the penetrative kind as per a certain British entity. Dislodged at a predetermined program time. Failsafe is a zinc washer that deteriorates over time and releases if the program fails. All held in place with a trusty cable tie!!

I'm sure we would have had a lot more entertaining footage from the WagCam as shown above, especially in the dark hours.

Cheers,

Mark.

Whoops. Sorry, guys! Must remember to read the words, not just look at the pictures.
