"How not to make a funny post"

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Cool photo.

[Slomo]

Yeah it's only the camera.

And PM5K if you knew how much a camera housing like that cost, and how anal divers are about their toys, you would realize that it is a very funny picture.

Yep (thankfully). Here's the story...

"And finally, speaking of sharks, if you think you're having a run of bad luck, pity the
poor photog who couldn't take this shot. Yes, that's really a Tiger Shark. And yes,
that's really a fully-equipped (expensive) housed SLR system with strobes dangling out
of his mouth. The picture comes from Paul Krupela of Pasadena (he's already won an
Honorable Mention in the Beneath the Sea Photo Contest) and it seems that Paul was
with a group shooting Tigers in the Bahamas. As Harry tells it, " . . . the shark (Nacho)
approached the divemaster, who was shaking a crate of fish to attract them . . Nacho
got the lid to the crate and was swimming around with it, when he apparently realized
it was not a fish. His whole temperament changed quickly and he became very
aggressive . . . He swam over and circled and bumped a photographer (Andy Salmon)
a few times, then swam back to the divemaster and went straight for the camera. He
grabbed it and took off, finally dropping it several hundred yards away (out of sight).
Jim Abernathy (divemaster) swam after Nacho and finally retrieved the camera . . .
There were major scratches on the dome port, and Nacho actually snapped a few
shots of the sand. Paul was in the perfect location as Nacho swam away with the
camera . . ."

PM5K - mildly amusing? That's a tiger shark. There's a running joke that they'll eat anything in the water, I think this verifies that. And it's not exactly every day you see a tiger shark swim off with a digital SLR camera rig.

Well I don't, I don't, and I don't....

Well I don't, I don't, and I don't....

Well then I'm sure you can find a thread to your amusement level elsewhere, quit threadcrapping.

"Google a "? If you do that you get about 500,000,000 hits so that would keep him occupied.

I think the shark was trying to steal the camera so he could take a picture of his girlfriend and get some shark boobies going in the bravatar thread.
