September 2021 | Week 2

This shy red Sea Horse was spotted by our dive guide Jolanda of Beyond the Coral Dive Center in Bonaire. Jolanda is amazing at spotting great u/w subjects like seahorses and frogfish. This lovely critter was one of a pair of Sea Horses at Chogogo dive site. The combination of location and body position made it a challenge to shoot, but I finally was able to fire off this shot after circling a few times to locate the best angle.

Equipment and settings: Nikon D850 / INON z330 strobes / 60mm / f20.0 / 1/250th / ISO 250
Location: Chogogo, Bonaire
