“Jaw-Dropping Photo” Of Giant Whale Shark With 50+ Fish In Its Mouth Wins Underwater Photo Contest
Honorable Mention
Massimo Giorgetta
Behind the Shot: In this Cuban archipelago, among the mangroves, lives a small colony of American crocodiles. To make a series of photos I had to go in the water with them for three days, studying the currents, the light and the clarity of the water. Then I waited until the crocodile was in the right position against the backlight. The idea was to have the best contrast between the reflection of the sun and the color of the water.
Camera Gear: Nikon D800E in a Seacam housing; Sigma 15mm fisheye lens; Subtronic Pro 160 strobe
Settings: f/22; 1/160; ISO 125
