This is a scorpion fish: venomous and camouflaged as can be. Fishes of this family always gives a mysterious feeling with its stone-like roughness and striking poker face. By increasing light and contrast, it was attempted to take viewers attention to the subject while separating background. On the contrary, showing the background reveals the territory of the fish and its magnificent adaptation.

This is a part of the Rangoon Ship wreck contains rustic saltwater-beaten metal scraps. Not sure if there is any specialty in this image unless you connect with the tragic story of this naval disaster occurred in 1871, few nautical miles away from Galle Harbor.

This is an attempt made to capture the line of greens dominated with coconut trees from waters of Nilwella. Image is taken as a split-level yet there is nothing much to be seen beneath the sea. Anyhow, aqua color of water glittered with strong equatorial sunlight makes it a beautiful pattern. Wavy line between water and land is the limelight.

This image is from Nilwella Underwater Gallery at Tangalle. These man made sculpts are yet to be fully occupied by marine life. Anyway, this collection of artistic installations are full of abstract beauty as is. Attempt was made to grasp a different view point. Colors and light were controlled accordingly.

Probably, this photo may not take any attention. Yet, from my point, this is an attempt to capture something different. Here we can see a school of fish circling top on a wreckage. Capturing this kind of fishes is tricky. Unless all the fishes are going in the same speed, shutter speed may not be sufficient enough. In this ...

Divers love exploring ship wrecks mainly due to the abundance of life they usually find within them. Yet, some like shipwrecks because it gives you the sense of connection with the history of the ship and its story. This is a photo I took of Nilwella wreck that illustrates the rustic remaining as is now. Wreck enthusiasts, like me, ...

This is another Wide Angle shot I am pleased with. Actually, I wasn't that far from the diver who is holding the anchor line during safety stop. My fish-eye lens has given a wide coverage with the diver creating a great composition.

This is Black Spotted Moray Eel. I always wanted to shoot an Eel, yet still couldn't make it quite right. This time I encountered this decent looking one at Kalpitiya while I was equipped with a Wide Angle lens. If you want to shoot this wide, you need better background. One thing I should have considered was doing a ...

This is a macro shot of a Coral captured in Unawatuna. I enjoy creating abstracts through corals or any other marine entities. Essence is trying to create different colours with a composition that makes some beauty. I am pleased with the colours and numerous small follower-like shapes made with tentacles. Bright contrasting colour combination with bright orange and aqua ...

This photo was taken beneath the famous Busselton Jetty of Western Australia. If you see carefully, front edge of the face of this Box fish is subject to glitter/ highlight in white. It is very hard to remove even through Light Room software without damaging the real image. This is one of the biggest challenges photographers face when shooting ...

Producing B&W photo is a big decision in underwater photography. In this occasion, I though B&W will give a better perception of context of the picture. This diver is exploring the ecosystem under the jetty. Due to the platform of the jetty, sunlight comes in a certain direction which I tried to emphasize by B&W presentation. Also pillars gives bit ...

Life is usually rich under Jetties. I managed to see and shoot some of the rarest marine creatures under the Jetty in Padang Bay, Bali that is within tropical waters. This time I dived under a Jetty in cold waters. Busselton Jetty is well-preserved WWII time jetty in Western Australia, now being protected due to historical value as well ...
