Hi CatSynth - Yes, they're actually a little hard to photograph, because they're very bright yellow, and also somewhat reflective. Adjusting the amount of flash is tricky. Too little and you can see the fish, but not the background. Too much flash and the brightness of the fish practically burns a hole in the center of the photo!
Hi Bobbie, those are great! I would not have picked their camaflauge outfit, but what the hey? Thank you for peeking at my 'dog sleeping' and Happy WW! ..
That's just awesome. Those guys just about glow in the dark. I've probably said it before, but I really love your work! Happy WW and thanks for stopping by!
What a magnificent shot! I'd heard the Red Sea was a fantastic place to dive. Even before reading your comments I was thinking about how hard it was to light those fish properly.
@ Frigga - The photo was cropped from a larger one, but otherwise not 'enhanced' in any way. Those fish really are that yellow -- and very reflective, too, compared to the background, so they sort of 'jump out' of the photo.

That's quite a pair, set against the blue.

Such vibrant colors ! Love the contrast. This is one of my favorite WW posts.
ReplyDeleteLove the vibrance and contrast of colors! I agree, it takes extra time to adjust the flash settings - but you nailed it anyway!
ReplyDeleteThat's an amazing yellow! Are they really that yellow, or did you enhance the picture?
ReplyDeleteEither way it's an excellent photograph!! :)
Beautiful picture!
ReplyDeleteI wish I had the guts to go "under the sea"...
Thank you for the compliments on the photo.

That is a perfect name for that fish. The yellow is almost too incredible to be real! Happy belated WW!
ReplyDeleteOoooh! Great shot! I just love that bright yellow against all of that blue.
ReplyDelete@ Will - It is an apt name for these particular fish. Thanks for visiting.
ReplyDelete@ 2Sweet - Glad you like the photo. I think it is the contrast that "makes" this shot.
