Shooting a flock of fish is one of the most exciting and exciting in underwater photography. The more fish, the more interesting and beautiful. But simple photos can not convey the entire dynamics of this phenomenon.
Thousands and thousands of fish break down almost instantaneously. It seems that the water itself began to move. Silvery bodies create the illusion of continuity. It seems that the pack is one whole. Thus, the protective mechanism begins to operate.
Of the marine inhabitants, few can resist the magic of the pack. Only dolphins understand that this is just a lot of fish. For all the other flocks, this is one huge creature. The denser the flock, the stronger the effect. Believe, it acts even on people.
But it's not easy to convey in a photo. The camera freezes the movement and we see just individual fish. Many fish are beautiful, but in the water it looks completely different.
I've been trying to shoot flocks for a long time on long exposure. In the water it is quite difficult. This does not suit the standard underwater configuration with a wide-angle lens.
For the sake of one frame, you must sacrifice the rest of the immersion. What if the pack does not come? For this I try where the probability of meeting a lot of fish is very high. As for example in these pictures from Sudan.
Barracudas, even growing more than a meter, still stick in the pack. In one of the most popular places in Sudan, on Shaab-Rumi they are always there. But still I got only one card for the whole trip.
