The plane of field is also something to play with when shooting this shallow. I liked the way the light played out in this image with the lavender colors. The Anemone is quite different and filled the frame nicely for this image.

Caption: 
Offshore dolphins portray their personalities in unique ways. Rough-toothed dolphins have a certain prehistoric look and don’t often encounter freedivers. They can become quite curious, using their extra-flexible neck to investigate newcomers to their environment. They are also one of the main enemies of tuna fishermen, capable of filleting a caught fish while it is still on the hook.

Caption: 
Extreme depth of field isn’t always necessary, but on a larger subject its hard to resist, especially when one is as colorful as this Hypseledoris. Backing away from your subject is an easy way to slightly increase your DOF when working with nudibranchs.

Dropping the angle of view and capturing the whip coral in the background with such a low f-stop created a very smooth and textured swath of color behind our common subject. In my imaginative mind I see a goby riding a comet!.. No comments please..
