Ken Sullivan's Image of the Month

This Image of a Spanish Dancer (Hexabranchus sanguineus) was taken in the Red Sea in April 2008

I used a 17 - 35mm zoom lens on my Fuji S2Pro in a Sea & Sea housing with twin Inon strobes

This image was taken on a night dive, close to one of the boat moorings, in Shark's Bay in 10 mtrs of water.

It is generally known that I prefer a nice cold Gin and Tonic at the end of a diving day and not a night dive. On this occasion I was sweet-talked into the dive and used my wide-angle setup, just incase we saw something unusual. Fifteen minutes into the dive we spotted this beautiful Spanish Dancer- some 200mm in length, just above the coral. I took three shots @ f16 and 1/90th sec. 100/ISO, at the 35mm end of the Zoom.
This was the first one, the second was a 'head-on' shot and the third one included our smiling dive guide Mussa.

This was the last dive of an excellent week's diving between Ras Mohamed and Jackson Reef
in the Northern Red Sea
