Catch of the Day

I am posting a bit late tonight because I went for a walk along the beach and the breakwater.

I haven't done any people shots for a while so it was fortunate that as I walked along the breakwater I spotted this chap who had just caught a baby shark.

I quickly asked if I could take a photo and pleased that I managed to get a couple of shots before he had to put it back in the water.
Lovely lighting especially on the fish.

hope you are doing well Babs - a walk on the beach can only do good :)

@annied Thanks Annie. The little Port Jackson was a feisty little bugger. He survived another day though. I am fine. More tests on Tuesday.

I was lucky to be walking along the breakwater when he caught this baby Port Jackson shark. He did put it back in the ocean and I got the fisherman's email address to send him a copy of the photo.

@casablanca Thanks. He was thrilled with his catch, but luckily he put it back in the water. Never seen a Port Jackson shark on this side of the bay before.
March 10th, 2017  
@peterday I don't want to see the one that got away. Although Port Jackson sharks are quite small as sharks go, they can still grow to around 1.6 metres long.

@flowerfairyann Thanks Ann. He was thrilled with his catch, but he did put it back in the ocean. Yes it was a lovely evening, still around 25 degrees C, not bad for autumn.
March 10th, 2017  
@s4sayer Thanks Margo. He was pleased. I have sent him a copy of the photo.
March 10th, 2017  
Great candid shot!
March 10th, 2017  
Yikes- a shark! Even a baby shark would have me a little cautious! But you can see by his face he's quite pleased. He's going to enjoy this shot when you send it to him.
March 11th, 2017  
Fabulous candid
March 11th, 2017  
Another beauty, Babs...
March 11th, 2017

March 11th, 2017  
What a lucky capture for him and for you!

That is quite a catch - I love the way you have captured his enjoyment.
