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.

Editor's Comment
The inclusion of a surface element makes a throwaway shot interesting
What do you do when the strobes won't fire? Try another take at getting it together! Norwegian Topknot shot at f4.0, 1/60 and ISO 320 with a small focus light. Sometimes that can work too :-)
I practised creating a pool of light on the foreground subject, with my strobes placed above the dome port.
