Sexy shrimp (Thor amboinensis)

So here is the shot for the weekend. It’s a sexy shrimp. No kidding – that’s what it is called according to  wikipedia. But it’s also referred to as squat shrimp.

About the shot: In past years, I always wondered how the UW photo geeks and pros get that ‘alienated’, extraterrestrial look of the anemones. This time, I found out.

It took two flashes mounted on flash-arms at different lengths. With these you get the nice gleaming effect. Other equipment? Regular 100mm macro lens on a DSLR. That sexy shrimp posing for me? Priceless!

Location of the shot: Pintuyan Dive Resort.
