Remarks"Face To Face" A 7 1/2 foot long blue shark presses its face into my camera dome port. Photographed off Pt. Judith, Rhode Island. This shark came up to me over and over again, emerging from under the boat, or coming straight into my dome port! The dark spot and line is where its face is pressed against the dome. Note how the nictitating membrane is rolling up to cover the shark's eye.
