Soft Coral and Divers on Elphinstone Drop Off

The soft coral on the drop-off on the East Side of Elphinstone reef is covered in soft coral of various colours. I love spending time on the wall trying to capture the beauty of these fragile organisms. I used the widest setting of my lens for this shot, with flash to light up the foreground and wanted the divers in the blue in the distance.

Nikon D700, Nikon 28-105 mm macro at 105mm, F8, 1/60th, ISO 200, Ikelite Housing and Ikelite DS160 strobe set on Manual x1/8.
