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.Time lapse video by my assistant and talented videographer @ottowhitehead
