Sharks of the Philippines

Pacificklaus

I had the pleasure of shooting some sharks in the Philippines in the last few weeks. Malapascua in the Cebu province is one of the few places in the world where divers can see thresher sharks. They come to a 'cleaning station' to have parasites removed by symbiotic fishes in the early morning. Using strobes is not an option since it would scare the sharks:





In Oslob in Cebu divers and snorkelers can see whale sharks, the largest living fishes. These are attracted to the bay by feeding them small shrimp. This is my take on the whale shark feeding.

I like the first one because it shows how cool those sharks really look, and the last shot is pretty cool too. It looks like the whale shark is trying to drink the ocean dry.
