Exceptional macro shots can be difficult. You need to observe the reef carefully and locate places where you can best use the macro lens. This blenny was sitting perfectly on a piece of small coral and created a perfect photo opportunity. Angling your camera to include the blue water background will make a clean and detailed shot with good color and contrast.

Equipment: iPhone 14 Pro Max in a SeaLife SportDiver housing,3x iPhone lens with one SeaDragon 2500 video light.
