Spring is
in the air and the water temperature has risen to impressive 9C! And the water
is crystal clear so we just can´t wait to get into the water (jumps of joy)
I was
looking for the tiny winy stuff as I had my 60mm macro lens attached. The
bottom was mostly sand/gravel with small goby´s hiding everywhere. It took some
time and breath-holding to sneak in on them.
Wherever
you find rocks with algae, you find these small shrimp-like mysids (Praunus
flexuosus, I guess). Only 1,5 cm long and almost transparent, they make a
challenging subject to photograph while they move around.
A slight
current carries me slowly over the seabed and suddenly I come accross this
beautiful monster hiding in the sand: a Turbot (Psetta maxima).
What a nice
way to start your day!
All images
were shot with a Canon 7d and
60mm macro lens in a Hugyfot underwater housing and the Inon
Z-240 strobe (1/200sek; F/10-16 and ISO 160-320. Strobe power around
1/2 of max output)
