The Blenny's New Home

Look who moved into a can of coke in Chowder Bay. This Brown Sabretooth Blenny found a new home in a piece of junk just off our jetty. It looks like it is not too impressed by visitors showing up at his new residence. This is of course a shot, I could impossibly pass [...]

Variegated Lizardfish

This is a photo I originally really liked but never published – it involved a bit of work with Aperture’s dodge and burn to help it over the line.
I found this Variegated Lizardfish at 20m depth in Wakatobi, sitting almost upright in the water. Unfortunately the surrounding rock formation made it difficult to approach [...]
