For one last image from Scuba Diving’s 2014 “Through Your Lens” photo contest, we chose Davide Lopresti’s unusual perspective on a starfish. (Just trying to figure out what we were looking at kept the selection committee intrigued with this Honorable Mention winner.)
Says Lopresti: “the peculiarity of this photo of Astropecten aranciacus — quite common in the Mediterranean — lies in the lighting. Using a retra snoot allowed me to create this particular illumination, making the image almost abstract, and emphasizing only a detail of the starfish.”
» HOW HE GOT THE SHOT
Nikon D600 in Nimar housing, Nikon 105mm macro, and a flash Inon Z-240, on which he mounted the retra snoot
