Holy Whale Shark ! I enjoyed taking photos of the sharks close to the surface with the sunrays bursting around them, so I thought, hmmmm – it would be great to get a whale shark silhouette ! In hindsight, there are a couple of HUGE differences, whale sharks are MUCH larger and I’m not on scuba. That was scary but I did get the shot !

My first Mako! Near Bahía Magdalena, Mexico
Ray in Grass: A shallow depth of field allowed me to focus on the eyes through a small gap in the seagrass. Cozumel 2017
Permit Portrait: I took this photo a few minutes after the Blenny, with the same 105mm lens! I pushed my strobes as far forward as they would go and shot from about 6 feet or so away. This photo is uncropped and only possible in very clear water. Cozumel 2017.
Blenny Mouth: Blennies are always fun to shoot. With patients you can usually catch them doing something really cute. Spineyhead Blenny, Cozumel 2017.
Smooth Trunkfish: Juvenile. Cozumel 2017.
Angel in Motion: The trick with capturing motion-blur is balancing a slow shutter speed with just enough ambient light to expose the movement. The flash freezes the image at the end when the shutter closes (rear curtain sync). Cozumel 2017
