Happy World Photography Day!

What's the best thing to do when you come face to face with a giant manta ray? Take a photo of course, and then share your creation with the rest of the world on 19 August, World Photography Day. As this photographer can attest, a lot of work goes into taking a great picture. There's more to it than having mastery of your equipment and a willingness to go on the hunt for the perfect shot. You also must be ready for a magic moment like this one, so when that amazing shot presents itself, you're ready to capture it.
