I haven’t put up any photos for aaages so here are some I took recently! A common octopus and a spot fin lion fish.
I was pleased how the new lens worked noticeably better in low light! :D

Sea Things in a New Light
Jevin Surjadi, National Geographic Your ShotBacklit octopus eggs look like a clutch of delicate, painted capsules in this image captured by Jevin Surjadi. But according to the Your Shot photographer, it was no easy shot. “Even with the dive master’s help [holding] the back strobe, which pointed mostly at the wrong angle, there was still the current that [moved] the eggs left and right,” he says. “Luckily, in the split-second window of opportunity when it was not overexposed on one side nor underexposed on the other, this shot was captured.” Taken near Jakarta, Indonesia

Eadweard Muybridge - Assorted Equine Works
This morning over coffee, this classic video of D. Ribot jumping his horse bareback and in the nude (NSFW) resurfaced on my FB feed.
Naturally, I showed it to Husband-dude.
From there we got to talking about equitation, and then about the top images of the nude man jumping his horse, and then about photography, and about Muybridge’s work in animal locomotion. (We have fantastically weird conversations over coffee on a regular basis. It is awesome.)
Anyhow, as a result of all that, I thought some of you horseblrs (and even non-horseblrs) would enjoy perusing some of Muybridge’s equine work, in a handy, rebloggable tumblr post.
(Or maybe not. *shrug*)

photos by lloyd meudell (instagram) along the southern coast of new south wales. as lloyd, who’s surfed the area for years before picking up a camera, explains, “when the tide is high, the water comes in and it breaks in front of cliffs, explodes into the air and creeps over the sand.” keeping his photographic techniques close to his chest, lloyd is uniquely able to capture the beauty of sea foam in both form and motion.
