Golden Gobies with Eggs

This photo was taken in May at Anilao, Philippines. This was a picture shot from the bottle mouth of beer bottle in sand. I found there were two gobies inside and some eyed-up eggs on bottle mouth. Two gobies got in and out very frequently, sometimes they would also clean out the things inside the bottle. If the camera was too close to bottle mouth, goby wouldn’t run out, so I must keep distance of shooting. I made flash strobe close to the lens as far as possible and maintained a current 45 degree angle with bottle mouth, so as to reflect the blue-green light of goby eyes. Goby and I are looking with each other from the bottle mouth, at the moment when it was yawning, I pressed this only shutter.

During a trip to the Palau in 2006, she found a passion for the underwater world and it was love at first sight. She is so fascinated by the “blue world” and what becomes part of our life is to discover the ocean with her cameras. Her passion for travel and diving has not abated and sure will be with her for the rest of life. Her passion is underwater photography, especially macro objects. In the field of underwater photography, she hopes to capture more beautiful pictures and share her works with friends who love oceans through continuously improving herself.
