'Sea loch anemone'
James Lynott
Sea loch anemones will always be a favourite subject of mine to photograph. There can’t be many dives I have done on the Scottish west coast where I haven’t surfaced with multiple images of these delicate little anemones. On this dive in Loch Fyne in March 2022 I had decided to use a snooted strobe together with the weefine wfl01 wet lens and try to isolate the anemones from the rocky background while still capturing some ambient light above. The rocky slope of this site is covered in anemones so it was a little tricky to find one on its own, but this one particular stood out perched on top of the pink algae encrusted rock.
Judge's comment: I couldn’t let this one go and championed for it to stay. The lighting choice, framing and the deliciously delicate background have rewarded this solitary and well chosen subject.
