DIVE LOG DECEMBER 25 ISSUE 415

Try to get the fish entering the photo. It will help to have some negative space that the fish is moving into. I like to try to capture colourful, contrasting backgrounds.

fish outwitted by increasingly faster prey create that environmental pressure for those predators to develop faster swimming, bigger fins, more streamlined shape and thus become better faster predators. It is classic evolution. It is also classic technological warfare. Attack weapons blocked, better more advanced technology leads to better survival chances of both predator and prey.

I get just as much of a kick out of diving with a rare Rhinopias Scorpionfish or a Flasher Wrasse as I do from diving with a Tiger shark, for example. I am thrilled to bits to get a good photo of a brilliantly coloured Angelfish or Sea Dragon. It is good clean fun. Ideally, you can dive with all of them on a single dive!

Eye contact is so important in fish photogrpahy to engage the viewer.
