Photo of Mollusc Iridescence - Stubby Squid

Last night I finally was able to capture a good photo of a stubby squid, holding the same position while changing colors.

Very nice shots! I assume that the little guy was moving a little, as the background has changed. How small was it?

 

[Matt S.]

Very nice.

Where do you find the little guys around here?

I haven't seen any kind of 'pod yet. Probably all the silt I kick up.

Sweet. I like squid pics. Sometimes I think they're trying to communicate with my strobes.

 

[Trianii]

Very, very cool!

Old Diver, the squid didn't move much between shots, but I did. My dive light could've made the auto light metering change a little, that and/or the color of the subject itself.

Matt S., they're found around the common dive sites in Puget Sound. This particular one was shot at Alki Cove 2.

I wonder if you could combine the two squids and make an animated gif of the color change...
