Gallery: Macro & Close-upPosted October 18, 2010582 views11 comments

This image was taken in Olympic National Park earlier this year. It took me almost an hour and half of searching at low tide to find a perfect pair that were in shallow water. I used 180mm Macro and ISO 500 to shoot this image. I did not use a polarizer for this image even though I was shooting under water. I positioned the lens to minimize the glare without a polarizer.

All C&C welcome.

Jay:
We see mostly land or aerial creatures in this gallery and it is a nice change to see aquatic subject here. Love the lines radiating out from the yellow centers and the 'tentacles' at the periphery. Nice diagonal placement of this pair which seem to be chatting to one another.

@Mark: This shot was taken at F10. I wanted the shutter speed high enough to get good details. Thanks for the comments.

Looks like your patience paid off. I love the diagonal composition and the colors. Filling the frame with the subject helps to anchor the eyes and keeps me engaged. Well done.

Hey Jay, this looked good on your little screen when I saw it, but much better larger, congrats on a great image.
