Glowing water

Bioluminescence blue glow Scripps Pier swimming long exposure

The grad students went out on Scripps pier to dork out about cyanobacteria. Smiths and I went along.

It's not easy to shoot, these were about five second exposures at iso 500ish. Flash for the subject, long shutter for the bioluminescence. Only post-prod was to bump the exposure a fraction of a stop, none on the above photo.

In person it's this bright, but less cloudy. When the sea lions and dolphins scattered nearby fish the result looked like fireworks.
