Images from Socorro trip

[James R]

We had a great 9 days on the Nautilus Explorer...here are a couple images from the trip. All taken with Nikon D800, Sigma 15mm Fisheye (some with 1.4 tele), Zen 170mm glass dome, and two Inon z-240.

Ignorance is Bliss - the divers jumping in had no idea this 8' Silky Shark was under them swimming around!

Lovely shots. Isn't that a fabulous trip? I just absolutely adored the crew -- they worked so hard, took such good care of us, and were always SO cheerful and friendly.

Edited to add: My favorite is the black and white shark picture with the reflections, but I couldn't get the link to render here.

Thanks!

The crew is beyond what we expected. Truly great!

James, awesome shot of the hammerheads, well done.

I disagree about the zoom, I think the composition is perfect.
