Bioluminescence blue glow Scripps Pier swimming long exposure

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.

The second successive JC ICA of an act from the teenage years. Linked in with a guest posting by Walter of A Few Good Times. It was inevitable that two ICAs would overlap. I'd no sooner made my mind up on mine that Walter's dropped into my inbox. So here goes with two-for-one. Only 3...
