Hi Nicolas!
Thanks for the feedback, this is what we believe to be a “Starry Night” octopus which we found in Lembeh on a fluoro night dive a year or so ago. I need to look at the metadata again. We aren’t entirely sure about the ID but that is what the guide told us and he was shocked because it’s rare to find these days in Lembeh. It was an absolute nightmare to photograph this guy, I must say. He was terrified of the blue lights. Every time I managed to get AF lock, he would scramble. I think I managed to get about 20 stills and only one of those (the one you see here) was salvageable as it was the only one in focus. No more AF on fluor dives for me!
Yeap! We did go to Adex, and we attended most of your talks!
Looking forward to trying some motion blur and also getting our horizon units (we’ve been weighing this option for several years now and finally came to a decision thanks to your talk)Also happy to share the RAW of this photo and more if anyone would like, I just don’t know how to upload photos to this site without linking them externally and pasting links :/
