Glass Shrimp - Paratya australiensis

 

Size of specimen: 5cm

 

Date: April 29, 2018

 

Sunabe Seawall

 

Chatan-cho

 

Okinawa Prefecture

 

Japan

 

Depth 40 feet or 12 meters of depth under water

 

I have worked and worked to get a decent shot of translucent shrimp. They are like the holy grail. Don't underexpose. Don't over expose. Find some contrast for their clear bodies. Dont' scare them off!

 

I found this shrimp under a outcropping in the area of the soft coral reef I was working. I was a bit too aggressive the first few tries and he scampered away. This was my third pass, and I had memorized the settings I needed to get a reasonable shot. This was the closest of the lot, and right after this single shot, he ran off for good.
