Canon EOS 1D Mark III (review), Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM(review) ISO 200, 16mm, f/5, 1/100 sec. This is a Portuguese Man o’ War I shot over in Juno during sunrise. These “animals” (not jellyfish) float of top of the water and only move by wind & water currents. They can sometimes swarm together in the thousands. Man o’ War’s have a relatively strong sting and are fed on by Loggerhead turtles. I chose to focus primarily on the Man o’ War. I laid down in the sand to take this picture so that I could get as close to subject as possible. By using my wide angle lens I was able to retain the background which shows the Juno fishing pier as well as the water and sun that was rising up over the horizon.  Keeping features like this in the pictures gives you more of a sense as to where the picture was taken. I used a low f/stop so that I the subject would be clear and the background was out of focus. I also knew that by using this lens at this f/stop would retain the background just enough to make out what it was. You can buy this print on my site Caught-Outside Photography.
