A Tiger Shark ate my Camera!!!!

[Mark Thorpe]

Well I think I got close enough to this puppy!!! I'm placing remote cameras on the sharks to see what they do when I'm not around but get this, the cameras have to come off the sharks, float to the surface and await my arrival to collect them, download the imagery and then report back to base. Easier said than done when a shark decides to eat a camera!!

The following shot if from inside the mouth of a 3.5m Tiger Shark looking out through her, yes she was a female, right hand side Gill plate. Crazy. Makes for good TV anyway.

Cheers,
Mark.

WHOA! so how did you get this camera back?

 

[Mark Thorpe]

Waited until she had stopped 'playing' with it....it floats and emits a tracking signal. Easy to just track it down and recuperate the unit.

Cheers,
Mark.

This pretty much ends the age old debate between content and form.

wow...thanks for sharing! You have video as well?

 

[Mark Thorpe]

yup.....

yup.....

Yeah, but I can't really post that until head office have checked everything out. The way this project is going though it won't be long before this sequence is on mainstream broadcast anyway.

Cheers,
Mark.

Wow "reminds me"

Hey Mark.... Great shot!

On a side note, I had a nice chuckle over the quincedence between your real footage and a joke/fairy fish tale, I posted a while back for fun responding to the infamous RED helicopter encounter.

and you can see POV of the camera being swallowed.

This isn't this first shot you've posted that I thought was excellent, and I'm confident it won't be the last.

Nice work!

I am sure he will be the first guy to tie a chunk of "chum" to a Scartlet!!

 

[Mark Thorpe]

Ohhhh, yeahhhh

Now that would be pretty damned spectacular. I'd love to post movie files but hands are tied sorry. I can post a date when this stuff will be broadcast though. Best I can do from this end....

Cheers all for the positive comments.
Mark.
