Magic in the Night

This photo of a squid was taken on a night dive near Milne Bay, Papua New Guinea during a liveaboard divetrip x-mas 2007. Due to the short focal length with the 100mm lens and the total darkness, it took quite a few frames to get this focused picture. I love the contrast, the alien like nature of the juvenile squid. Canon 20D with a Canon 100mm Macro lens in an Ikelite housing. Single Ikelite DS-125 strobe. Settings: ISO 100, F20, 1/100 sec.

Diving Papua New Guinea - Milne BayDiving Papua New Guinea - Milne Bay
It is one of the few places left in the world where a diver can see macro critters, pelagics, and big stuff, as well as fantastic soft and hard corals. The often misused and abused adjective “pristine” is actually appropriate here, due to low fishing pressure in the area in comparison to other areas of the Coral Triangle, no dynamite fishing, and thanks to a system implemented by dive resorts whereby local reef "owners" receiving a small fee for every diver that visits "their" reef. As a result elders make sure that the reefs are not fished.
