The true story behind the amazing white shark kayak photo

[NoNukes]

I think we have all seen this amazing photo... and here is the true story behind it!

 

 

When this photograph was first published in Africa Geographic, BBC Wildlife and later in Paris Match and the Daily Mail (London) it resulted in a flurry of e-mails, phone calls and letters from around the world asking if the image was a fake. The image became the most talked about of shark photograph ever.

The photograph is real, no photoshop, no digital manipulation, no nothing, in fact it was shot on slide film Fuji Provia 100 using a Nikon F5 Camera and 17-35 mm lens. For those conspiracy fans who still doubt its authenticity please read how I took the photograph...

Wow thank you for sharing this. I remember thinking that this photo must've been photoshopped when I first saw it.

Thanks for sharing this, it looks like quite an adventure! I am wondering if you experience any fear when you are around these creatures? I would be terrified, but then I do not know them at all.
