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 ...
(Location: Whale Bone, Murion Islands, Exmouth, WA, Australia)Waters around Murion Islands, off Exmouth, in Western Australia are rich in Corals, such as these fan corals. When I dive, my camera was equipped with a wide-angle lens: a fish-eye lens to be exact. Fish-eye lens can be very irritating especially, when you don’t want to go as wide as 180-degree coverage. ...
(Location: Gulliver, Ningaloo Reef, Exmouth, WA, Australia)Though I have seen many Turtles in their natural habitat, couldn’t make it a point to take photos. They are very fast underwater and usually don’t give much room for a photographer unless he/she is well prepared to shoot a fast-moving subject.While I was diving the famous Ningaloo Reef in Western Australia, I ...
(Location: Rangoon Wreck, Unawatuna, Galle, Sri Lanka)Shipwrecks are great objects to photograph underwater. One of the key techniques I use in shooting within the vicinity of a shipwreck is combining the wreck with fish or other objects of the ecosystem. Most importantly, it gives a room to frame the nature with rustic decaying shapes of the wreck which I enjoy ...
(Location: Lotus Barge, Colombo, Sri Lanka)This is one of the photos I am so pleased with. I like the colors, composition and everything. Most of all, this is not even cropped or spent time improving after shooting. This is pretty much as it was shot. This also reveals how shipwrecks harmoniously blend with natural growth of coral and marine life. ...
(Location: Car Wreck, Colombo, Sri Lanka)This is a good opportunity to shoot a nice pair of Lion fishes. Though I am happy with the composition I am not quite sure if I like the final output. The main subject which is the big fish is not sharp enough. Also colors are not as good as expected. Anyway, we learn from each mistake.
(Location: Car Wreck, Colombo, Sri Lanka)When shoot Divers I always want to create a special composition by combing them with wreck or reef. This is one such attempt made while I was diving with a team in Colombo recently.
