Blacktip Migration Mania

JENNYROSE BALL

“I’m thankful to spot even just one shark when flying. And naturally, it’s hard not to get so excited every time it happens. This was a morning I could barely wrap my head around. I’ve shot images of the blacktip migration before but never under conditions like this, and never with such a large amount of sharks. This was one of those once-in-a-lifetime mornings. When I put the drone up to see what I could find, I started out pretty low. Found the first shark, then two together, then three, then eight…. then I decided to ascend a little higher and the biggest school of sharks I had ever seen came into frame. And, this was just ONE of two large schools in the area. Making the morning even that much better was the abundance of life in the water along with these sharks, including tarpon, jacks, sea turtles, and a few other bull sharks. After shooting wide shots and nice close-ups, it was amazing to watch their movement as a whole just observing and taking in the moment.”
