About the Shot: Competitive paddleboarders Dan Van Dyke of the #USA and Deon Lourens of #SouthAfrica paddle through a large school of leopard #sharks during the Mike Eaton Paddleboard Race in La Jolla, California on November 9, 2013. Given their name because of their distinctive brown spots on silver, leopard sharks are harmless bottom feeders that migrate and spawn in the shallow waters of La Jolla Shores in San Diego every year.

How the Shot was Captured: I shot this image immediately after competing in a local #paddleboard race in honor of legendary paddleboard shaper Mike Eaton. When I finished I noticed how crystal clear and warm the water was for this late in the year, which probably accounted the larger than normal school of #leopard sharks congregating on #LaJolla Shores. As fast as I could I raced to my car, dumped off my paddleboard and traded it for my GoPro and Drone with a Zenmuse gimbal setup. After I quickly and safely set everything up and ensured I had a GPS lock for safe flying, I framed up two paddlers coming through a massive school of sharks which surrounded them in every direction. I had my #GoPro #HERO3Black setup on time-lapse mode shooting every half second to get the most out of the couple minutes I was flying, had protune on and the ISO was set for 100 to get the lowest grain and best saturation with the morning light. The automatic in-camera exposure ended up being somewhere around F2.8 at 1/750th of a second, so fast enough to freeze the action. I could see the what I was shooting on my live-view screen and knew I had something good, did a couple passes and brought the camera in with a big grin on my face. #SUP
