Was fishing at Whyalla in South Australia over Easter and had a visitor.
Approx 14 foot long white pointer came to the boat and hung around for about an hour...managed a few good shots.

Hope you like.

Cheers
Redgy

Thanks Matt.

Yep had a circ polarizer on, the water was very clear but this was 9am on a very bright morning and was shooting into the sun mostly....made him hard to see let alone get a few shots.

It looks like he wanted to make a meal out of the lower unit, fascinating creatures.

Very cool. It's on my list to dive with these guys (in a cage). What a treat.
