No respect for nature. An animal fighting for his life. If you have the guts spring into the water to photograph them in freedom!

In Australia, The White Shark is protected. No sharks were harmed & strict regulations regarding shark cage diving. Your ignorant virtue signalling is much more disrespectful. Stick to your smut.

My dream photo! The white sharks in Australia are more aggressive. They
drag their victims. I have wondered he animals under the Wallace line are different. I dream of taking a photo but I would not get in the water too scary. Did you?

Behind The Lens

Location

The Neptune Islands, Spencer Gulf in South Australia. In Australia, White Sharks are highly protected & shark cage diving is highly regulated. No sharks were harmed. The bale twine held tuna entrails, which broke away. sharkcagediving.com.au is the only licenced operator allowed to chum or burley to attract white sharks close to the cage. Amazing experience of a lifetime.

Time

Around noon, after a four hour boat ride from Port Lincoln, South Australia.

Lighting

Overcast day, low wind. Low water visibility & high reflectivity.

Equipment

Nikon D850. Sigma Sports 70-200mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM

Inspiration

Magnificent creatures, waiting for that perfect moment. Experience of a life time.

Editing

Basic enhancement & crop

In my camera bag

Minimalist on this day. Camera, Lens (quality UV filter), Plastic Bag (camera protection)

Feedback

Fast shutter speed & count. (maybe not this fast) Anticipate with patience. A lot of luck!
