Black-finned Snake Eel

  1. Yeah, I know... the shrimp's head is just _slightly_out of focus, but I thought I would throw this in anyway bc it sets up the next shot.

  2. Not bad for a 50mm, huh? This is the full image, not cropped. I was _REALLY_ close! This black-finned snake eel just posed for me for quite some time, and then held his position for my friend to snap a few. (We found another one out in the open sand later.)

  3. Black-fin, out in the open.

     

    This guy hung out in the open sand, motionless, for nearly seven minutes. My friend fired off quite a few times and I took 15 pics myself. I have never seen a black-fin out in the open like this and neither had my friend, and he has over 10,000 dives.

     

    Notice how he has positioned himself running parallel with the algae....
