Keep Your Eye On The Camera

, ,

While diving off the coast of the Seychelles, I came across a tightly packed school of soldierfish.

A large school of fish swimming over a coral reef in clear blue water.

With their vivid reddish and silver coloring and oversized eyes, they’re surprisingly photogenic and usually unbothered by divers. Luckily, they all faced the camera at the same time. It felt like they were posing for the perfect group portrait.

    That must have so mind blowing to see so many in the same direction with red eyes! Beautiful photography.

      It was brilliant. Most of the time they are pointed in different directions or at least when I try to take a snapshot.

        Can’t predict a school of fish. 😊

    What a tightly packed group! No wonder they are called soldier fish.

      I never thought of it that way, but it makes perfect sense!
