Ooh Ooh, Pick Me!

by Karl Marchant

They get their name from the fact that they are almost transparent. Always in large groups as they defend themselves against predators. They are great fun to dive with, they move in and around you until sometimes you can’t see your hand in front of your face!

Equipment: Nikon D40X, ikelite housing

this fantastic picture, the main theme is orange, but it is clear, so the details show up, the movement is evident and you feel as though the numbers stretch forever, unbelievable!

I am going to Majorca this year and I am so looking forward to scuba and snorkeling with my underwater housing on my camera.

Those shining gills & bulging little eyes facing you (en masses), must be quite the experience!Thanks for sharing.

Nice shot Mr. Marchant. It must be fun to have all these little fellows surrounding you when your diving.

This is an excellent capture. Bright, clear, well focused and wonderfully composed.
