UPY 2018 Macro - Third
'The Shadow'
Kenji Cheow
Creating shadow for underwater images is always challenging. When I found this goby on a halimeda algae on the sand, I knew it would be a perfect subject for my "Project Shadow". I began with slowly placing a white slate behind the subject , shining my torch to get the angle for the shadow and then another torch to light up the subject. Then, patiently wait for the moment.
Judge's comment: In a category like Macro you have to be different to stand out and here is a good example of a straightforward subject lifted to the winners enclosure by very imaginative lighting. The goby opening its mouth is the icing on the photographic cake.
