I was spending days with oceanic black tips. I was waiting for the golden hour and trying to catch a split with sun and a shark on black background. But a storm was approx. 5km away and it was heading towards my boat. This photo was captured when storm was around 2km away and we really had to head back home. If a storm cought us on a way it would have been very dangerous to do a river mouth entry with heavy rain a rough sea.
