Cowfish

Cowfish

Good evening all.  Found this cool Cowfish the other day and thought I would send him out for your viewing pleasure!  And yes you read that right, this was taken during the day!  Then why is the background black??  Good question glad you asked.  If your shooting animals during the day underwater and you don’t like the background set your depth of field to a bigger number and turn up your flash and like magic you have a photo that looks like it was taken at night, cool huh??  These cowfish are so curious and like so many others can instantly change their colors, my favorite being electric blue!!  I followed this guy for quite awhile and watched as he or she stopped at all kinds of assorted algae encrusted rocks and dined on whatever he could find. 
 
Aimee and I both worked today, it was clear skies and very windy!!  After work I met some friends and off we went for our weekly tuesday night ride.  I was a bit tired still from yesterdays ride but ended up doing alright.  Sorry so short, not much else going on.  Be back tomorrow, Barry
