  • A blue shark approaching in open water. These are, in my opinion, the most beautiful sharks of all with their long fins and big eyes.

  • Last Monday I had my very first encounter with what for me is the most beautiful of all sharks: the blue shark. These extremely elegant, pelagic animals are unfortunately a rare sighting in many parts of the world these days, due to the high demand for shark fins and other products. Their large pectoral fins make them a prime target for shark fishing worldwide and their lifestyle makes it fairly easy to catch them. Did you know that Spain is one of the top exporters of shark products? We Europeans tend to regard China as the source of all evil when it comes to shark-related issues, yet we're still very much part of the problem!  The IUCN currently lists the blue shark as near threatened. The last assessment, however, was made in 2005, so numbers are likely lower today, as commercial fishing continues largely unhindered.

  • Not the usual blue shark picture, but I quite like the depth and eye contact on this one. What do you think? <br />
For me it's always fun to experiment with different angles and techniques, even though this dramatically decreases the number of keepers! This is something I should do a lot more often, and in fact it's kind of a new year's resolution for me.

  • Following my previous post, this is yet another slightly more creative image. Using a slow shutter speed combined with flash blurs the background and shows the motion of the subject. Inspired by Nick More's stunning blurry blues. If you haven't yet seen his award-winning image from Cornwall in the UK, make sure you check it out now!

  • I just cannot get enough of these beautiful animals! Can't wait to see them again next winter!
