Just a sequence of pics from a dive during the Mayday w/end at Pulau Tinggi (another island wee off the east coast of Malaysia). It was muck diving with viz under 10'. So I only had my ZD50mm macro and a single DS125....
Had some PP done to the pics but I hope you guys don't mind. I've never actually seen a cuttlefish grab its prey in real life before.
wish I had my WA lens...
It was moving with purpose and totally ignored me...
Decided to snap away, even with a macro lens...
Up go the tentacles....
It was amazing to watch the colour change...
Suddenly, it dash forward in a blur, leaving a big silty dustcloud in its wake...
I didn't know what to make of the whole situation...
And then I saw it...The fish...it was still wriggling around trying to break free....
Fat chance...lunch was sashimi today!!!
After all that, the cuttlefish changed to a really dark colour and in a blink of an eye, it was gone....wished I had my dual DS125 set-up...and clearer viz.
