UPY 2021 British Waters Compact - Highly Commended
'Fluorescent wonder'
James Lynott
After spending the day diving at the Garvellachs, Mark Kirkland and I had decided to make the most of the day and stop at Loch Fyne for an evening dive on the way home. The site we decided on was at Inveraray slip which is fantastic for fireworks anemones. My aim was to get more images of the fireworks anemones fluorescing under blue light. I have captured a lot of images and video of these anemones fluorescing and, while I’m always looking for new subjects, I will never get bored of observing the way they fluoresce so brightly and show many different patterns. This was a particularly large individual was a favourite of mine from this dive as I was able to capture the whole anemone with its long tentacles stretched out within frame.
Judge's comment: A jaw-dropping subject captured using the challenging techniques of fluorescence photography underwater - a celebration of colour and shapes.
