Watching a great photographer work

This morning (Aug 22) our Great White Expedition group met up with Chris amd Monique Fallows - the leaders of Apex Predators and favorite shark photographer (well Chris is), in Mossel Bay, to leatn about some predatation and breaching.

It was awesome to watch them work together and how much patience is needed to get a photograph you are proud of or sometimes even just one.
