Tiger Shark on Aliwal Shoal...

_DSC8101550.jpgTiger sharks are such lurkers, surface lurkers with a love of the shallow ambush. Shot with a Nikkor 12 - 24, 1/250 at around f3.5, Shutter Priority. should have been on Manual 1/1250 minimum f5.6 to increase depth of field. The sharks in the background are blacktips. all female.

I love the languid intensity of these beasts, and the way that they lurch through the water column like portly sentinals on a mission to scavenge and feed.
