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.

Tough to get a shot of these guys feeding but when they do I think it looks spectacular. Like little fishermen casting their nets. Shot with two strobes, next time I'm going to try side lighting to give some more depth.
Cockatoo waspfish portrait - Ablabys taenionotus. looking more like a floating leaf than anything else. D300, 60mm Macro

I'd love to tell you I planned this shot but I got lucky. However you make your own luck and I sat in front of this ribbon eels hole for ages just shooting as it came into focus. Bit of vignette added in Lightroom and a boost to levels.

This is one of the first photographs where I planned the shot before taking it. I side lit the rhinopias with TTL on one strobe and set the other strobe to 1/8 and put it above the subject.

The Peacock Mantis Shrimp has one of the most complex eyes on the planet. Each eye is capable of trinocular vision, depth perception and color range past UV.

Paradise pier - Manado. Look closely you'll see a diver "peeking" from behind the fan :-0
Squid shot taken during a night dive. Photo was taken right before a jet of black ink was shot in my face and the squid took off.
