Which one of these tiny critters is your favorite? 🔍
“Indonesia is home to the largest marine animals as well as the smallest. In this video sequence we get a close up view of some of my favorite tiny crustaceans which I filmed in the Banda Sea: the emperor shrimp, a pair of Coleman shrimp, skeleton shrimp, and the porcelain anemone crab. 🦀
When I started filming more than a decade ago, I loved nothing more than shooting wide angle scenes: colorful coral reefs, schools of tropical fish, and giant manta rays and sharks. As the years have gone on, I have also fallen in love with the underwater macro world. By filming animals like these with a macro lens, we are able to see so much more than we can observe with the naked eye on a dive. Without the camera, we’d never be able to fully appreciate all the beauty and complexity of these tiny critters.”
