Behind the Shot: This shot was taken in very shallow water. While on honeymoon, we couldn’t resist the call of the water, so my wife and I went snorkeling every morning. One day, a lot of silt caught my attention. In the silt, this beautiful stingray appeared. I only had a very short window to shoot, because the silt was spreading everywhere. The stingray was feeding on tiny critters in the sand. After a few seconds, the ray disappeared and we continued to enjoy the beautiful Red Sea and our honeymoon.
Camera Gear: Olympus E-M5 II with an Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 8mm Fisheye f/1.8 Pro lens
Settings: f/13; 1/125; ISO 500
Prize: SeaLife Sea Dragon 2000F photo-video light
