Sailfish Action

F 9, 1/250 sec, ISO 640, 15mm

I spent a week freediving with sailfish trying to photograph their bait-ball hunting behavior. The bait fish are swimming for their lives, while the sailfish swim in circles, herding them into a ball. It was extremely difficult swimming with my heavy camera and keeping up with the bait-ball action. Additionally, you would have to dive down on a single breath, compose the picture, and capture the image. It was the hardest and most demanding underwater photography I have ever done.
