This was snapped on the shores of Snapper Rocks at dusk. I loved the shape and textures of the rocks there although I'd highly recommend wearing some thongs/slops or what ever slang we call beach footwear to protect your feet from these sharp guys :-)
Once upon a time, Snapper Rocks was a fairly average Gold Coast point break living in the shadow of it's world famous cousin Kirra. In fact it was better known as a fishing spot (hence the name) than it was as a surf break. However, in April 1995 the Tweed River Entrance Sand Bypassing Project began pumping sand out of the river mouth and dumping it just east of Snapper Rocks. Before long a super sand bank had formed in Rainbow Bay and once the swells started hitting, local surfers realised they had one of the world's longest, and most consistent point breaks on their doorstep.
This used to be one of the main Red Light districts of Dublin, until they installed the LUAS. Now the kerb-crawlers can't cruise the area like they used to.
This is two LUAS trams passing each other with a 20 second exposure......which was too long.
I hadn't intended to shoot this. I had spent a couple of hours shooting The Bridge and as I headed across the road I saw the LUAS X 2 approaching, so, like Superman in a telephone box - no I didn't wear my pants outside my jeans....you people!!! - I transformed from Mac the pedestrian to Mac the Snapper.
Plonk. Click. Bingo Bongo!

After a nice shoot at the local wildlife sanctuary, I had the pleasure of witnessing this Momma snapping turtle laying eggs. If you look closely, you can see some eggs dropping into the hole. She's not a pretty girl, but she was doing a beautiful thing.
I nearly didn't see this medium sized snapping turtle partially submerged in a mud puddle - on his way somewhere as 10 minutes later, he was gone. Hampton, NJ
I have just returned from a diving trip to Tanzania, where I have begun learning underwater photography for the first time - it's a lot harder than it looks!! In Kinasi Pass, a huge channel in Chole Bay, there were enormous schools of snapper, sweetlips, amberjacks and mackerels that you let you swim right up into them - an amazing experience!

A small group of images of an Alligator Snapper swimming into the light from under a pier has always been a favorite of my wife...
The snappers snapped. Local photographers captured during the sunset tourist ritual at the Gateway of India on the shores of Mumbai Harbour. They all wanted to buy or trade something for my cameras.
