Description

Actually this was not a night dive, it was just very dark and with the right camera settings it was simple enough to turn the dark expanse of navy blue behind this little shrimp to blackness. I normally don’t like taking photos of Whip Coral denizens, there is a nasty trait amongst guides to move the shrimp, crabs or gobies that enjoy living on the whips for a better shot. I truly hate this behavior and usually the critters are very non-cooperative for photos, so it’s not worth the time most days.

Though from time to time, you find a nice, still, easy going subject intent on doing something other than hiding from your camera. Also lack of current was a factor in getting this shot, but cooperation from this little shrimp was probably 90% of the shot. He stayed quite still, didn’t shy from the lights & let me take several shots of him from different angles, of which I find this one is my favorite.

Due to the angle of the whip coral I was not able to get a front facing shot which I’m a big fan of, though I assume most photographers probably have no qualms about shifting critters like this, I choose to leave them alone and capture them without interference.

This means, you can only see those animals at night, or certain behavior will only happen in the dark. Don't forget the amazing colors of everyday things is s [...]

    Up until last month, I had seen maybe 3 Pygmy Pipe Horses in over 8 years of scuba diving, in fact, Pygmy Pipe Horses were fairly mythical and rare for the waters of Thailand. I remember the only place we ever found them with any certainty was Richelieu Rock Similan Islands and the Surin Islands. [...]

If you want to find Crocodile Fish, be very ve [...]
