JULY 2008 - Congratulations to
Jukka Sorvisto from Finland, winner of the 6th
UWPhotoChat photo contest (Behavior theme) for his
remarkable shot of a sea turtle eating a soft
coral.
Olympus E-330, 8 mm fisheye+1.4x
teleconverter, f/11 at 1/30 with single Ikelite 200
strobe. Jukka adds the following:
The picture was taken in
Hurghada, Egypt in the middle of the day at a site
called "Shaap Iris" which is known for turtles and
dolphins.
This turtle was having a party
together with one arabic angelfish breaking soft
corals and having a super lunch.
The turtle didn't care about the
divers and let us to approach very close. After
taking a bunch of pictures, we left the site to
allow the turtle to go and have a
breath.
I was using 8 mm fisheye lens
with 1.4 x teleconverter for the first time UW. I
love this lens combination, because for wide angle
photography it lets you focus closer and still
allows a wide view.
