East Timor : Night dive Jan. 5 - Cuttlefish transformation

[calypsonick]

Demon Stinger - gnarly lookin' but great camouflage

This little cuttlefish started out in its cammo colors and then turned into this gold with brown highlights. Way cool!! It kept approaching me like it was trying to tell me something. If only I could speak Cuttle-ese !!

Great shots! 14-45mm? Wonderful lighting on the 3rd and 4th ones...

Where did you take them?

 

[calypsonick]

Thanks Dennis! They were all taken with a 35mm and my new Woody's Diopter at a relatively new site called Tasi Tolu, which is a shore dive about 15 minutes out of town. We're spoiled.

Oh man Nick you really are spoiled.
Thank you for sharing East Timor's beauty with us

The Cuttlefish is amazing!

 

[Mike Veitch]

you captured the feet of the Demon Stinger nicely! they are weird buggers eh?

 

[Larry C]

Great shots, Nick. The Cuttlefish shots are really interesting, but I really like the lighting on the Anemone.

Cuttle fish are amazing creatures - great shots !!!
The anemone is pretty cool too.

It kept approaching me like it was trying to tell me something. If only I could speak Cuttle-ese !!

Yeah, I think he was trying to tell you that if he was bigger, he'd eat your a@@! Great shots!
