 The ropecam just before submersion. |

| National Geographic photographer Emory Kristof calls himself a fisherman with a camera—a digital camera. With the aid of Mike Cole, a Geographic computer expert, Kristof built a “ropecam,” a digital video camera. Connected to it are lights and a bait container. A computer chip controls switches that release the bait and turn on the lights. His biggest catch: a pacific sleeper shark, 6,000 feet down, and estimated to be over 20 feet long. | |
