Natural mirror (Single)
DESCRIPTION
The image was taken in 2018 in Cuba while snorkeling with the Amercian saltwater crocodiles. With the right angle and lightning the crocodile gets nearly completely mirrored on the water surface from below the surface. The challenging part was to get a flat surface in the ocean, which was working out. The only waves seen are produced by the swimming movement of the crocodile itself.
One Ikelite DS-161 strobe was used in combination with the Ikelite housing for the Canon EOS 7D.
AUTHOR
I started photography by the age of 19 with a compact camera focussed on shark photography. Realizing that compact is not enough and saving all my money I switched four years later to an intermediate DSLR, Canon 7D, which I'm still using.
