[UW Photo A099 ] Devil Scorpionfish


(Location: The Jetty, Padang Bay, Bali, Indonesia)

This is Devil Scorpionfish captured in famous Jetty dive site at Padang Bai, Bali, Indonesia. This strange looking fish, as suggested by its name, is a dangerous fish with venomous dorsal fins. It is closely related to Stonefish. This fish is very camouflaged and quite difficult to identify within its territory.

When closely examining, you may see shadows in this picture. That’s because I have used only one strobe from one direction to light the image. Probably, I would have used two strobes from both sides. Anyway, I have used a focus light to get proper focus on the subject, otherwise this would have been a very difficult shot in murky water.
