UPY British Waters Wide Angle - Highly Commended
'Blues Brothers'
Nicholas More
Blue Sharks are amongst my favourite species to photograph and I try to get offshore every summer to target them. These are feisty characters that readily interact with divers when there is rubby dubby (chum!) in the water. I have been taking motion blur shots of the blues for some time now but a well balanced frame featuring multiple sharks has until now, eluded me. The conditions on this day in early autumn were cold, windy and choppy but we were blessed with abundant sharks, as many as 10 around the boat and I firmly believe the addition of my vomit into the chum slick contributed to our success. I had a few photographic aspirations that day, this being one of them. The others I didn't achieve...I will try again next year.
Judge's comment: Excellent motion blur and a moody background canvas to show them off.
