Red Sea
Cornet Fish on top of the Reef

I was snorkelling early in the morning in Marsa Shagra Bay and was completely alone. It gave me the opportunity to take pictures of the fish that lived on the edge of the drop-off. I like the snake-like movement on the cornet-fish as it moved towards me. On some dives, I have had these fish following me for up to 10 minutes.

Nikon D700, Nikon 28-105 mm macro at 28mm, F8, 1/60th, ISO 400, Ikelite Housing and Ikelite DS160 strobe set on TTL -1.3EV.
