Steve - The Caribbean reef shark, Carcharhinus perezi, is the most commonly encountered reef shark in the Caribbean Sea, and certainly my favorite shark to photograph. I really enjoy working with them to create a dramatic pose for portraits. One of my favorite techniques is to “get down, get close and shoot up” and let them enter the frame and create the portrait. This shark has a robust, streamlined body. Distinguishing characteristics include dusky-colored fins without prominent markings, and a short free rear tip on the second dorsal fin. It is one of the largest apex predators in the reef ecosystem, measuring 6.6 to 8.2 feet (2 to 2.5 meters). The snout is rather short, broad, and rounded, without prominent flaps of skin beside the nostrils. The eyes are large and circular, with nictitating membranes (protective third eyelids). The first dorsal fin is high and falcate (sickle-shaped). If threatened, it may perform a threat display where it erratically changes direction and dips its pectoral fins. Caribbean reef sharks have become valuable as an ecotourist attraction. They prefer shallow waters on or around coral reefs, and are commonly found near the drop-offs at the reefs' outer edges. This shark commonly feeds on a variety of fishes and cephalopods. I took this image in Roatan (while diving with Anthony’s Key Resort). I used my Nikon D7100 camera, two Marelux S strobes, a Tokina 10-17 mm lens behind a wide angle dome, using an ISO of 200, an Aperture of F/11 and a shutter speed of 1/200th of a second. @steverosenberg_photography #wideanglephotography #CaribbeanReefShark #Sharks #Honduras #ScubaDiving #Roatan #UWPhotography @iheart_hammerheads #Rosenbergebooks #MareluxStrobes #DiveTravel #UnderwaterWideAnglePhotographer #Anthony’sKeyDiveResort We are currently working on updating the eBook, DIVE AND TRAVEL THE BAY ISLANDS OF HONDURAS, and writing an article on diving with Anthony’s Key. www.divetravelguides.com | Facebook
