As soon as we crested the reef head at Karpata in Bonaire we encountered a group of file fish feeding on Moon Jellyfish. By swimming directly under the jellyfish and shooting towards the surface, I could photograph them with the sunlight coming through their translucent bodies, using my strobes as a key light. Ikelite housing, dual Ikelite 125 strobes, Canon 5D MKII and Canon 17-40L lens.
