There were so many reef sharks it was crazy. They smelled the small bait box that I was sitting on and were quite bold, bouncing off my shoulders, tank, my head and arms and strobes, the whole bit. I shot machine gun style, hoping the strobes would recycle fast enough to keep up, in this shot only the top strobe fired which left some pretty deep shadows. I was not even certain if the shots were in focus as it was getting dark, hard to see, and I was not as thoughtful as I would have liked to have been in composing the images. This was my favorite shot of the bunch.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Caribbean reef shark, ampullae of Lorenzini visible on snout...\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/spotlight.php?img=10550\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Caribbean reef shark, ampullae of Lorenzini visible on snout, Carcharhinus perezi\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/stock-photo\/caribbean-reef-shark-carcharhinus-perezi-image-10550-555392.jpg\" alt=\"Caribbean reef shark, ampullae of Lorenzini visible on snout, Carcharhinus perezi\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Caribbean reef shark, ampullae of Lorenzini visible on snout.<br \/>\nImage ID: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/spotlight.php?img=10550\">10550<\/a><br \/>\nSpecies: <a title=\"Caribbean reef shark photos\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/caribbean_reef_shark_photo.html\">Caribbean reef shark<\/a>, <a title=\"Carcharhinus perezi photos\" href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/lightbox.php?sp=Carcharhinus_perezi\"><i>Carcharhinus perezi<\/i><\/a><br \/>\nLocation: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oceanlight.com\/lightbox.php?country=bahamas\">Bahamas<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Caribbean reef shark (Carcharhinus perezi) was shot late afternoon on a seamount in the Northern Bahamas.
