Nocturnal Stargazer
Alex Tyrrell
PHOTOGRAPHER: Alex Tyrrell
LOCATION: Sabang Bay, Philippines
ABOUT THE SHOT: The nocturnal reticulate stargazer buries itself in the sand, with only its face protruding, waiting for unsuspecting prey to swim overhead. To get the shot, I used a Nikon D200 in a Subal housing, 60mm Nikkor lens at f/22, 1/250 sec, ISO 100, and an Inon Z240 strobe with snoot to illuminate the stargazer’s camouflaged face, making it stand out from the surrounding sand.
