Behind The Lens

Location

Simon's town in south africa

Time

Daytime

Lighting

Natural light because marine mammals don't like strobe light

Equipment

NikonD750, 14-24mm 2.8, nauticam housing

Inspiration

These guys are super playful and challenging to photograph. the green color is different than the classic blue one too.

Editing

I increased brightness and the shadow.

In my camera bag

My camera is a Nikon D750. I have 4 lenses : 14-24, 24-85, 150-600 and a macro 105mm.

Feedback

If you want to use strobes in green water prefer a cool light rather than a warm one.
