Chuck Tribolet's underwater pictures

I also like to take pictures underwater. I use a Nikonos RS underwater SLR, usually with a 50 mm macro lens, sometimes with a 20-35 zoom. There are usually two Nikon SB-104 flashes supplying the light. Lately, I've liked the results I've gotten from Kodak E100S slide film. I'm a member of the Northern California Underwater Photographic Society .
 
Australian reef sharks Australian reef sharks. This picture was taken during a trip to the Great Barrier Reef and the Coral Sea in September, 1996. No, I wasn't in a shark cage. I was sitting on top of it. The view is better up there, and it makes a more comfortable and environmentally sensitive seat than the coral.

Those who work with me know I'm not afraid of giving management a bad time when they deserve it (and occasionally when they don't). Swimming with these boys is good practice for dealing with management. Dilbert should try it.

Northern Wobbegone Shark Northern Wobbegone Shark.
Anemonefish Anemonefish and Anemone. Everybody calls these "Clownfish", but they are correctly called "Anemonefish". This is probably an Orange-Fin Anemonefish, but might be a Barrier Reef Anemonefish. They differ in the color of their anal fin which is out of sight in this picture.
Shrimp The Aussies call this a "Cray", as in Crayfish.
