Behind The Lens

Location

Maldives

Time

Sunset

Lighting

Sunset light is beautiful also underwater. It’s a technique to get a sunburst, you need to stay in shallow water, with bid small aperture.

Equipment

Nikon D850 with tokina 10-17mm, housing and doma.

Inspiration

Manta Alfredi and sunburst...

Editing

Denoise, clean the shot (from backscatter), increase clarity

In my camera bag

Nikon D850, telelens 150-600, nikkor 14-24, micro 105 and 60, tokina 10-17, strobes INON, housing, 2 domas (25cm and 10cm)

Feedback

Be in the water, always! Beautiful underwater encounters are rare but the more you stay in the water, the more you have chance to get something.
