Into the darkness

5 posts
  1. Hi! :D Theese are some shots of my 2 first night dives with an external strobe. I am using it since May 22nd but I didn't have the chance to try it at night until last week. Before this I only used the inernal strobe with an UW torch for night photos.

     

    So, this is my first experience with Ikelite DS125 at night.

     

    Alicia Miriabilis: this is an animal that lives on rocky places. During the day it is contracted, looks like a sponge with bubbles on it. At night it expands and shows long tentacles that uses to take the food. Alicia Miriabilis belongs to the same family as jellyfishes and anemones:

    Micromelo Undatus (I'm not sure if it is Micromelo Undatus, but I think so) It's not very easy to find but in the place where we usually make our night dives there are some of them:

    And that's all, hope you like it!

  2. You have done a fantastic job of isolating the animal from the background. A beautiful job of achieving a nice black background and really presenting the main subject.

     

    Great job for a first time effort!
