Wow, that's an awesome shot. The see fans remind me of some fungi we have growing on trees around here. How many shots did it take to get the brilliantly colored fish to corporate? It's like they were swimming that way just for you, and the lighting was perfect too.
Thanks for the kind words! It takes a few, you need to get the strobes in the right position for the right exposure, you then need to slowly edge closer to the coral and gain the fishes trust, usually by holding your breathe (they don't like bubbles) they will begin to rise out of the coral and you start to shoot. Each flash of the strobe will bring them lower. I'll have to post more from this session
That's pretty cool. So you are working with them to get them to cooperate. lol I love it.
