BREWSTER, MA The Cape Cod Museum of Natural History presents <b>Dr. Tom
Burns</b> <b>Sunday, September 13, 2015 at 1pm.<br>
</b> <br>
Dr. Burns has been photographing sharks for over 20 years. His pursuit of
shark encounters has taken him around the world. Years of in-water
interactions with sharks, often without the barrier of a cage, has
allowed him to obtain a real perspective of these intelligent animals.
Based on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, it is the sharks of New England that
have become his focus including the Mako shark, Basking shark, Porbeagles
and the rare Hammerhead and Tiger sharks.<br>
<br>
Beyond the species profiles, Dr. Burns will give the audience background
on how he dives, photographs, and interacts with these different
species. Some might be surprised to learn that he never uses a
shark cage and will sometimes use aerial spotters for encountering sharks
such as hammerheads. The presentation will include some of Dr. Burns’
stunning photographs.<br>
