November 2010

This image didn’t especially stand out until I reviewed it on the laptop after the dive. I’d been night diving on one of the interesting muck diving sites at Malapascua Island in the Philippines when we found a pipefish amongst the sea grass. I spent a while shooting images of it, trying a few angles before moving on, but hadn’t realised that I’d also managed to capture in focus one of the tiny shrimp that were darting around in the light of my strobe. This turned a solid but unremarkable image into something much more interesting and special. Image taken on the 17th September 2010 using a Nikon D200, Subtronic strobe and a 60mm macro. Camera settings were ISO 100, 1/60th f22.
