  • Say Ahh! A rare, brilliant yellow Weedy Scorpionfish, Rhinopias frondosa, flexes its jaws, as if bored. The actual reason for this behavior is probably to send a threatening message to the photographer, who has no doubt worn out his welcome. Scorpionfish also stretch their jaws regularly to stay limber for feeding opportunities. Manado, North Sulawesi, Indonesia, Pacific Ocean

  • cuttle141: This Broadclub Cuttlefish (Sepia latimanus) was a bit wary of the photographer, raising its center arms in a typical defensive gesture. The large size of this subject combined with limited visibility would have required shooting from too far away for a side view. However, by shooting face-on at the 70mm focal length and orienting the shot vertically, I was able to fill the frame with an interesting composition. This approach also limited lens-to-subject distance to a couple feet, minimizing the degrading effects of the poor visibility. Indonesia, Sulawesi Sea, North Sulawesi, Lembeh Straits. Nikon F100 in Seacam housing, Nikkor 70-180mm Macro Zoom lens, twin Ikelite 200 strobes, Ultra Light arms, Fujichrome Velvia 50 film. f-11, 1/60 sec.
