Seahorse at the Salt Pier (Bonaire, Dutch Caribbean)
That’s a cool find! I didn’t see one the one time I was in Bonaire. That last frame looks best to me. With the strobe on the left pointing right, maybe even aiming at the housing, you can keep the light off the background. One strobe can do a lot. That’s assuming you can’t change angles to get a cleaner background. Another thing to try is overexpose the whole scene so contrast can be controlled in post between light and dark areas. Also, don’t forget snoots. And larger apertures can help with distracting in-focus backgrounds, too. All in all, quite a few ways to handle that situation.

Over 50 and still diving? (Go on, admit it....)
On the plus side, maybe cold denizens can live longer by having the genetics of a Bowhead whale. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-09694-5

Backscatter HF-1 versus Retra Pro Max II
In the 90s I was in Afghanistan during that stalemate that was much of the conflict going on there, and trying to make analog photos of an artillery piece being fired. Try as I might, I could not get an image with the rockets leaving their tubes. This, I’m sure, would have been a no-brainer then.

Cartier-Bresson would be rolling in his grave. The Decisive Moment indeed.

Backscatter HF-1 versus Retra Pro Max II
I’m smiling as I read about 30 fps, and that pedestrian 8-10 fps. How far we’ve come, eh?
