Stubby Squid Photo Sequence

Post by Scubie Doo »

I was rummaging through some old pics from 2010 and clicked through several shots of a stubby squid in sequence. I thought it would be cool to put them together into one shot. Nothing special just thought I'd share :-)

What do you mean "nothing special"? That's definitely special. :supz:

Thanks Airsix. I guess what I meant by "nothing special" is that I threw this together over a couple hours to see how it would turn out. I didn't add shadows or spend a ton of time spacing the squid shots. The more I look at it though the cooler I think it is. I really like the fact that the lighting is pretty much consistent. I also like the color change that occurred between shot 3 and 4. Anyway, thanks for the positive feedback.

I think you should enter it in next year's Dive Expo photo contest ... they have a category for creative stuff like that ... and that's definitely a creative sequence ... :supz:

MZ, I actually had about 12 good shots in sequence. It started from left to right. I spotted its eye poking out and took a few shots. It proceeded to pop out... 4-5 more shots. Then it decided to take off and swam right by my lens to my right (hence the last shot on the right). I really didn't think much of it until I was cycling through some pics and I saw the sequence and it hit me. Originally, I had the sequence with 4 more shots but it looked too cluttered so I took a few out and kept it simple.

Calvin,

I was shooting with a Canon G10 and (2) D51 Ikelite strobes.
