The
difference between a good photograph and a National Geographic
photograph is often just a slight shift in perspective. Sometimes a
ladder is really inexpensive tool (less so in my case, since I had to
fly it to the remote Indian Ocean atoll of Aldabra) to obtain a
different point of view. This proved to be the case on assignment for @natgeo
in Seychelles a few years ago, when the ladder helped me create the
opening image for this story. I have posted that particular photograph
before, but I will post it again tomorrow for reference. Aldabra has
the highest concentration of blacktip reef sharks I have ever
experienced. The sheer abundance of sharks there is completely out of
this world. At low tide they congregate in a small lagoon on a reef flat
where a brisk current bathes them in cooler well oxygenated water. They
avoid the deeper water off the reef edge where bigger sharks may prey
on them.
