2024 has been the year of the bait ball in Bonaire.  This tired turtle is looking for a place to rest, oblivious of the cyclone of big eye scan just meters away.  Shot with a Nikon Z8/Nauticam housing/INON z330 strobes.

A nondescript subject but excellent treatment
Dwarf Lionfish.
Lembeh, Indonesia.
Olympus C-5050 with Inon strobe.
Skunk Anemonefish - Lembeh Strait
I found this slipper lobster walking around at 23m depth at Perhentian island, Malaysia.
I used a Sony P9 autofocus camera and a torchlight to take the picture.
"Longnose"
This photograph was taken at Kapalai in Malaysia. Used a Nikon F-90X with 105mm Micro lens and twin Ys-350 TTL Strobes.
This close-up shot was taken in Lembeh with a Sony P9 camera and a Sea&Sea macro lens and an external Inon strobe. I find this set-up works extremely well for macro photography.
