Clownfish eggs photos

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

 

I am very interesting to know, what do you think about the following photos? It is the Red Sea, our divecenter hose reef (between the curses ;-). And the subjects are clownfish eggs. It is almost the first time I tried to make photo with x8 - x10 magnification underwater and it is quite hard.

 

Last day before the night time hatching.

Wow! The detail is fantastic and you have used the tiny bit of depth of field that is available to you very well.

Wow, those are probably the best clownfish egg photos I've seen. Can you describe your lens/camera setup?

 

Cheers

Sweet! AM so glad you were there at the "right" time, then pulled off these images!

More or less combination is the same, but the miracle of "home ground" is still playing some role.

 

 

 

As to exact setup, I would really like to leave it to myself for now. I was using reversed 20mm lens with bellows and 20mm stacked on 105mm (all Nikon). Dark, hand focus (not even manual – change in lens focus changes magnification a little, but to focus housing have to be moved), crazy hard to light without blowing out eyes completely.

 

P.S. All photos are ~90-95% from the full frame, so magnification is about x10-12
