Macro Video of Bioluminescent Shrimp Shot with a Sony a7 III
Sometimes the world blows you away. It was like that for us when we first started shooting sea fireflies on rock formations back in 2016. The visual power of these creature lighting up the shoreline was just stunning. It made us want to learn more about these creatures and think about innovative ways of shooting them.
How to Photograph Bioluminescent Oceans
There are certain natural phenomena that most photographers would love to capture. Aurora, eclipses, meteors, rainbows, eruptions, lightning and tornados all present challenges to the photographer, not least of which is (with the exception of eclipses) having a camera pointed the right way when they happen. Bioluminescent algae is no different in this regard. Like all the most incredible natural spectacles it is hard to predict and tricky to capture.
Photographer Captures the Beauty of Bioluminescent Plankton
There are certain kinds of plankton that glow when they're disturbed by movement. Photographer Kris Williams recently went out to a shore in Wales and captured a set of photos and videos showing the beauty of this bioluminescent plankton.
First Ever HD Video of Bioluminescent Coral, Shot with 4M ISO Canon Camera
Ultra-high sensitivity cameras like the 4 Million ISO Canon ME20F-SH are making it possible to record things never before possible, like these bioluminescent bamboo corals pulsating with light 1,245 feet below the surface of the ocean.
Shooting Sea Fireflies Lighting Up the Rocks On a Japanese Beach
