nprfreshair: Photographer Dana Allen waited three days and used a dummy seal to get the perfect shot of a great white shark off the coast of South Africa. Pretty awesome. From the New York Daily News: “The strike, when it happens, takes just over a second, up and out and back into the water,” he explained, according to Cater News. “If you flinch you can miss it.” At one point, just as his team was settled in, they heard a crash. “In an instant the four-meter (13-foot) great white shark was up and out of the water, right in front of our eyes,” Allen said. “The water was streaming off its body and I pressed my trigger button.” Photo credit: Dana Allen/Caters News Agency

Photographer Dana Allen waited three days and used a dummy seal to get the perfect shot of a great white shark off the coast of South Africa. Pretty awesome.

From the New York Daily News:

“The strike, when it happens, takes just over a second, up and out and back into the water,” he explained, according to Cater News. “If you flinch you can miss it.”

At one point, just as his team was settled in, they heard a crash.

“In an instant the four-meter (13-foot) great white shark was up and out of the water, right in front of our eyes,” Allen said. “The water was streaming off its body and I pressed my trigger button.”

Palestinian youth defy gravity with parkour in Gaza Strip
There are few things more attractive for a photographer — and a photo editor, admittedly — than human bodies flying through the air in various acrobatic contortions. Parkour is a photographer’s dream come true. (Photos: REUTERS/Mohammed Salem)

NASA’s SDO satellite captured these ultra-high definition images of the Transit of Venus across the face of the sun on June 6th from space. The last transit was in 2004 and the next pair of events will not happen again until the year 2117 and 2125.
