Well, I have to admit that I would be thrilled and scared ****less.:shocked2:

I had a moment like that in Galapagos when I snapped a photo of a Galapagos shark and then he turned and looked straight at me. I thought to myself "OH ****!!" Then I quickly brought my camera back and tried to shoot off another, but my flash was recycling, and then he turned and left. My buddy snapped a photo of me and the shark as he was leaving but she saw him look right at me.

I doubt it. You'd be too much in awe of how beautiful they are:

...then I'd soil myself.

Awesome shots, man! can you tell me what the focus length you used translates to in film equivalent?

Thanks again for posting these! Very inspirational.

Thanks much AbyssalPlains. The film equivalent for that lens would be about 18-36mm.

Apparently our NC Sand Tigers are very docile. Similar species off the coasts of Africa and Australia are not as docile.

The Grey Nurse Sharks here in Australia (aka sand tigers) are totally docile as well. you could probably pet them if you were lucky enough to get close. People get an unneccessary fear of them cause of those big teeth stickin out their mouths.
