Natural occurring Red and Green Fluorescence in Stony Corals and Encrusting Corals
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 by Danita Delimont showcases the mesmerizing natural occurrence of red and green fluorescence in stony corals and encrusting corals. Fluorescence, a process where light of one color is absorbed and emitted as another color, is commonly observed on land with ultraviolet or black light. However, in recent times, blue light has become the preferred choice for fluorescence diving. For photographers venturing into this unique realm, capturing fluorescent subjects presents its own set of challenges. While the glow may appear vivid to our eyes in darkness, it's important to note that the process itself is not very efficient. Consequently, there is significantly less light returning towards the camera compared to conventional white-light imaging. In this ethereal photograph, Delimont skillfully captures the vibrant brilliance of marine organisms that fluoresce most intensely. Certain marine animals possess a higher degree of fluorescence than others, making them ideal subjects for this type of photography. Delving into the depths beneath shimmering waters unveils a world illuminated by nature's own luminescent spectacle. This stunning print serves as a testament to both the beauty and complexity found within coral reefs—an enchanting reminder of their delicate existence and our responsibility to protect these underwater wonders.
