Re: Shark week has me thinking. How to get on as cinematographer/photographer?

I agree with kelpdiver's excelent replies and my reply wont be of any help to your original question - sorry about that. Many years ago I actually liked "Shark week" but that was before I started diving and the shows back then were probably more valuable. Since then I've been diving with sharks myself in their natural environment, and have lots of photos of different species that I'm happy with. So now I find the Shark week shows (and pretty much any shark TV show) really boring. No real research. The "research" they do is just to make a TV show and they justify feeding them in then name of "research". Also most of the shows are about Great Whites - yawn. Yeah we know by now that they are able to jump in the air - yawn.

Sorry about my rant but that wasn't against you as I hope you understand, and I'm aware that diving with sharks has made me blasé to these shows.
