Fused Staghorn Coral Fluorescing, Palau, Rock Islands, Micronesia
Fluorescence is the process in which electromagnetic radiation (light) of one wavelength (color) is absorbed and light of another wavelength is emitted. Most of us have seen this on land with ultraviolet (or black) light. While fluorescence diving started with ultraviolet light, most fluorescence diving is now done with blue light. The process of fluorescence creates its own special requirements for photographers. The glow can appear very bright when you are looking at it in the dark, but that is because our own eyes are such good sensors. The process of absorbing and re-emitting light is actually quite inefficient, and there is a lot less light coming back toward the camera than you are used to for conventional white-light imaging. It may seem obvious, but the best subjects for this type of photography are the ones that appear to fluoresce the most. Some marine animals fluoresce brighter than others, which will make photographing them much easier

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of a fused staghorn coral fluorescing in the vibrant waters of Palau's Rock Islands, Micronesia. Fluorescence, a fascinating process where light is absorbed and emitted in different wavelengths, creates an otherworldly glow that enchants both divers and photographers alike. While fluorescence diving initially relied on ultraviolet light, blue light has now become the preferred choice for this unique form of underwater photography. However, capturing these ethereal scenes presents its own set of challenges for photographers. Despite appearing bright to our eyes in darkness, the actual amount of light being reflected back towards the camera is significantly reduced due to the inefficiency of absorbing and re-emitting light. To achieve stunning results in fluorescence photography, it becomes crucial to select subjects that exhibit pronounced fluorescence. Certain marine animals possess a natural ability to fluoresce more intensely than others, making them ideal subjects for capturing their radiant beauty through the lens. In this particular artwork by Danita Delimont from Fine Art Storehouse, we witness nature's artistry at its finest as the fused staghorn coral emits an enchanting glow under blue light. The intricate details and vivid colors showcased in this photograph serve as a testament to both Delimont's skillful eye and Mother Nature's awe-inspiring creations beneath the ocean surface.
