KASAI WALL, MOALBOAL, CEBU ISLAND, PHILIPPINES

In the Philippines, leaf scorpionfish are often seen sheltered on the reef — but not this one, which gracefully stood on a table coral. I’ve spent numerous dives trying to capture this moment.

I placed a Sola Video 1200 LED light behind the fish, and used an Olympus E-5 camera in BS Kinetics Lut housing, 50mm macro lens and 1.4x teleconverter. ISO 100, 1/250 sec, f/5.6
