Ron Silver :-D Stegastoma fasciatum

Sharon M Elcamp-Uwp Thank you Ron :) just went to read abt this Stegostoma fasciatum .. Will learn a lot with you nice guys ... not just admire the magic UWW !!

Ron Silver You'll soon see that common names are a real pet peeve of mine and lead to all kinds of problems. I am trying to furnish the correct scientific name for posts when I can and encourage photographers to furnish it as a part of their posts. As you may be aware, this shark is known as a Leopard Shark in several areas around the globe but another shark also has that common name - see attached: http://marinebio.org/species.asp?id=55

John K Lindberg :o wow beautiful

Sharon M Elcamp-Uwp Thank you John :)

Stuart Pearce Beautiful shot :)

Sharon M Elcamp-Uwp Thxxx to each one for the Likes :) :)

Sharon M Elcamp-Uwp Thank you Stuart, feel touched .. it's my first post !!

Stuart Pearce We would love to see some more :)

Sharon M Elcamp-Uwp Ron Silver I knew about Leopart shark .. that's why I searched until I found the Zebra ..

Sharon M Elcamp-Uwp I will for sure Stuart, it's evening/night "work" right now and for the next few months ... checking also for a new camera .. but I promise :)

Stuart Pearce I am also looking to upgrade my U/W camera this year, have not decided between SLR or one of the new compacts with interchangeable lenses :) The compact that gets all the rave reviews is the Canon G11-15 series, have a great built in lens on them :)

Sharon M Elcamp-Uwp I'm just comparing - not finished .. - G1, G15 and G16 ...

Stuart Pearce I am looking at the Nikon 1 J2 compact with interchangeable lenses, still reading the reviews :)

Sharon M Elcamp-Uwp ok, will check that one too ..

Sharon M Elcamp-Uwp and if I can get a good price in Singapore ...
