Description

Bit of a throwback Thursday for me today, so here is some full frame Sea Horse love. I was sorting through my Sea Horse photos as I’d been approached by Nature Research magazine to provide some pictures of them, but they specifically wanted non artistic stuff, which means something more like this, with the whole little beasty filling up the entirety of the frame.

This happens to be one of the few un-cropped and good full frame shots of a Sea Horse I’ve managed to take, the lack of background helps a great deal also, think flat gravel/sand bottom. As most photographers know, Sea Horse’s & Syngnathiforme’s hate strobes and lights, so they will turn their backs to you almost immediately making shots like this very hard.

You need some patience with these critters, it typically means holding your lights off of them until they (hopefully) move into a favorable position. If not, well you move on, touching them with pointers to move them for photos is a deplorable behavior for any photographer to engage in as far as I’m concerned. Wait, shoot, wait again. Be nice to them and muchof the time they will return the favor with a brief opportunity to get shots like this one.

Enjoy :)

Orange Banded Sting Fish

Ever heard of a Sting Fish before? To be honest before I found this one, I'd only really ever heard the name mentioned once or twice in my travels and they don't appear in most of your fish ID books either, trust me I looked :) So what the hell makes a Sting Fish interesting enough to be shown he [...]

Ambon Scorpion Fish – Not Just A Seasonal Fluke

Last season at Kata Beach (Nov 2017 - May 2018) I posted some fairly interesting finds, one of which was, of course, the Ambon Scorpion Fish, something that is not meant to be in the waters around Phuket and something as far as I know, had not been found by anyone else here (bragging). We did qui [...]

White Eyed Moray – The Forest Through The Tree’s

I'm a big fan of Moray Eels, they always look like they are trying to tell a really bad joke or laughing maniacally at one. This one is called a White Eyed Moray, for obvious reasons, they don't get very big in most cases, and love to play/hunt inside the green cup and fan corals that abound on the [...]

Big Ol Giant Frog Fish, Or Is it?

Anyway, here is another lovely specimen from the Philippines, Pescador Island, Moal Boal. This one I think, or at least to the best of my knowledge is a [...]
