January 2021 / Week 3

POTW-2021-01-3

For this week’s POTW, I had a limited number of photos to choose from. After an eight day surface interval due to a severe sore throat, I was finally able to get in the water yesterday and fire off some shots. Awwww – it felt so good.

The fish in this photo is a Sharknose Goby, common throughout the Caribbean. You can find them hanging around coral heads or cleaning larger fish. They move fast, but if they are relaxed you can get close and get some amazing shots.

Equipment and settings: Nikon D850 / 60mm / INON 330Z strobes / f14/ 1/160h / ISO 400.  
Location: Ocean Encounters House Reef, CuraƧao
