Pigs on the Beach (Diving, Photography)

On a recent trip to the Bahamas Julie photographed some really cute pigs. These are wild pigs that live on an island in the Bahamas, and whenever a boat stops on the beach they come over to check out if there are scraps. They’ll come right to your lens, even if you’re waist deep in water. Julie actually went on this trip, meant to track down Oceanic Whitetip sharks, to photograph these pigs and she got some nice shots. Who needs Oceanic Whitetips when you can photograph small piglets!

    I’ve seen — and taken — a lot of photos of a lot of critters underwater, but this is a new one on me! These are fabulous shots. Congratulations.
