POTW November 2023 | Week 1

David and I spent more than two and half hours observing the critters in shallows at Tori’s Reef in Bonaire. I was especially drawn to the Sailfin Blennies and the Yellow Headed Jawfish. This particular jawfish was intent on cleaning its burrow and I was able to capture multiple shots of it expelling sand. This particular shot captures the jawfish with a mouthful of sand just before expelling.

Equipment and settings: Nikon D850 / INON z330 strobes / 60mm lens / f20 / 250/th / ISO 64 Location: Tori’s Reef

David and I had to wait in line to get a shot of this little beauty. It was one of two seahorses at The Cliff in Bonaire. It was a little shy and conditions weren't the best on this day - visibility was pretty poor, so it took a number of shots and trying different...
