Hello, I'm Lauren. No need for introduction though, it's only my Tumbl, half the people that look at this will never talk to me anyway, haha. So anyway, shark obsessed, duh. Taken. Bye! //

This is the type of shark I saw today, a white-tipped reef shark. Our dive master said they are very docile, especially during the day when they rest in caves. He said that sometimes when people can’t get a good photo of them in the cave, he pulls them out by their tail. @_@
As we were going home, I overheard another dive group say they swam with a huge school of hundreds of hammerheads today. I AM SO JEALOUS. Hammerheads are my favorite sharks. They are also extremely shy. I hear it’s usually pretty hard to swim with them, because they are scared of divers.

Shooting over/under photos is a fun alternative to just shooting underwater. The use of the over/under water camera for this shot is perfect—it highlights the tension inherent in any shot of a shark in the water. Seeing this view of both the water’s placid surface and the creatures lurking below makes me feel like a swimmer at the surface with my legs dangling below. The closeness of one of the sharks, and its size, adds to the drama. The contrast is also emphasized by the beautiful turquoise sea and puffy white clouds. It’s not easy to get these over/under shots, and one needs to shoot many frames and be well positioned close to the fish©
