I have met this beauty on a sunset dive off the jetty of the dive resort in Kapalai. Ideally, I was looking for a pair of them, but he was hard to resist . I was very happy with the result :)

by Andre Yanco
Sometimes you meet the most unusual subject in a place you expect the least. This subject was right under the jetty in Kapalai behind steps and most incredibly, spotted at the end of a very long night dive ! Very rewarding ! :)

by Andre Yanco
This blue ribbon eel was sticking out of hole which made it impossible to completely isolate the surroundings with the correct settings on the camera, so I have blacked out surrounding reef with photoshop to create this dramatic effect :)

by Andre Yanco
I captured this shot with my Nikon D70s in a Sea&Sea Housing modified for use with SB800 in TTL mode. Flash housing was Fantasea. SB800 in Fantasea housing in TTL mode frequently gives too much light, but still was OK producing a very natural look.

by Andre Yanco
Kapalai and mabul offers some of the best possibilities for macro photography subjects. It is just a matter of grabbing your 60mm lens and a pair of good flashes, then you are in business :)

by Andre Yanco
A little bit of playful creation. Mantis shrimp captured in Kapalai just off the jetty of the dive resort. The whole background reef removed by photoshop.

by Andre Yanco
Kapalai always offers a large variety of critters for the macro enthusiast. During any regular dive to the 10+ diving sites around the area, it is guaranteed that you will have a lot of opportunities to get that one shot you want :)

Who said that porcelain crabs are shy ? I was so surprised that when he rose up and gave me this shot . No wonder that Kapalai is famous for its macro life subjects.

by Andre Yanco
Yet another macro subject from the waters of Mabul. Usually found in small crevices in the shallow reefs. I love these critters :)

by Andre Yanco
Hey you !!! Throw me something to eat ! Graaawllll ! :) Captured in Kapalai on a night dive. Nikon 60mm macro.

Pretty Nudi... Another one of my trials with the SB800 Flash in Fantasea Housing in TTL mode.

by Andre Yanco
Little ray of sunshine... Usually it is not right to shoot a subject from behind, but this little lion fish was so attractive with its fins spread out that I could not miss the chance :) Nikon 60mm SB800 in Fantasea Housing in TTL mode.
