Long wayted first encounter!!!

21 posts
  1. Hi all!

    Well this week was really special to me...

    I haven't dived in very many places around the world and so it has been untill now, that I had never seen a nudibranch. Might seem funny, but yeah... :D

    Anyway - my luck changed a few days back when I run into Dendronotus frondosus. One of the biggest nudiebranches in Norway and can grow up to 10 cm. And not one... but seven of them in a two square meter area.

     

    I had been wayting for this encounter for A LONG TIME!!!

    Shot in the costal water of Norway.

  10. Like the composition and lighting of the first one the best! :D

  11. Thanks a lot to everyone!

     

    Yes - the first two shots are with snooted strobe.

    The third one is actually a cloudy sky in the backround. Theres is only a few inches of water between the nudi and surface.
