Photography is painting with light, but it’s equally the absence of light. It’s about creating a mood, an emotional response, with the balance of light and shadow; it’s using shadow to draw one’s eye to the light. Technically, this image may be too dark, it’s ceratinly not evenly lit. But that’s the point; what’s aesthetically interesting is rarely what’s technically perfect. Blue Maomao Arch, Poor Knights, new Zealand. Schooling blue maomao (Scorpis violacea<\/em>) congregate along the sheer walls of the arch, feeding on the plankton rich currents that are entrained and accelerated through between the walls of this long tunnel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This image was shot in early 2020. I used a Full frame Nikon camera, 20mm Nikon lens, in an Aquatica housing.<\/a> Although I had a flash (strobe) attached to the camera I chose not to use it for this shot, rely purely in the natural light penetrating the arch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
