Two Cuttle Fish

Thanks for viewing!

Very nice captures, where did you shoot them and what settings / gear were you using?

Thanks Tj.

Both photos were taken at Crosses, a dive site on the Eastern side of False Bay (Cape Town, South Africa).

The first is the most colourful camouflage I have ever seen on a local cuttle fish. Just outside of the photo is some purple soft corel which explains the purple in its camo. Never stops to amaze me when one see just how good they are at camouflaging. This one was a juvenile which made the find even sweeter;)

I used D300 with 60mm macro lens and single Inon Z240 for both photos.

First photo F25 @1/250 ISO 200

Second photo F32 @1/320 ISO 200
