Leif and me had som decompression to do after a dive in the mouth of Lysefjorden when I noticed that there were lots of gobies together with jellyfishes in the free water. We swam out in the blue and saw that quite a lot of gobies was caught by the jellyfishes. Had to work a bit to get the fishes in focus, but in the end I was lucky. Transparent goby (Aphia minutta) caught by a Lion's mane jellyfish.

My summer project in Dogbay. Photographing Reticulated dragonets (Callionymus reticulatus) playing. Usually they were deeper than 20 meters and sometimes at 30. I had to wait for them to start, so there were many dives I did not get any images. They were also a bit skittish, so I had to put quite a lot of diving time in to it. After 2 months, they have finally stopped playing, so now I can move on to photograph other marine critters in my backyard.

The last 2 months there have been quite a lot of Reticulated dragonets (Callionymus reticulatus) on the sand outside my house in Dogbay. It is not uncommon to spot more than 20 on a dive. They are here to mate, and many times when I dive, I can see female and male come together and courting each other. Capturing images of it, is however a totally different matter. They usually do the courting deeper than 20 meters, and I need my focus light for the camera. But, as soon as I put my light on them, they spilt and lay flat on the bottom. Waiting below 20 meters, often below 30, is not something you can do for a long time. But now the visibility is getting better, so with a sunny day, I do not need the focus light. I guess it is just a matter of doing enough dives. On one dive I got the attached images, but the dragonets was moving away from me, so I still have a job to do.

I feel quite lucky that I can do this photo projects outside my back door. Diving from my basement.

Photographing common toads (Bufo bufo) under water today. Beeing a female toad is hard work and also dangerous. Here is 4-5 males jumping a female which try to reach the water.

My next project might be to get in to the water with the local porpoises and maybe capture some uderwater images? I guess it will require a lot of patience and luck 😊

In 1997 were Frank Emil Moen, Erling Svensen and Rudolf Svensen the first divers ever to dive on cold water coral reefs, Lophelia pertusa, and capture images from these beautiful deep water corals. In 2010 Erling and Rudolf dived on an offshore installation capturing images of the Lophelia corals growing on the steelwork. We both thought that may be it would have been better to let these artificial reef stay out in the North Sea instead of removing them. Here is a little film showing how it looked like down there.

As divers we see beatiful things beneath the surface, but sometimes we see something that is not so nice. This film is about the dark side of the sea.

Two of UWPhotos photographers took a trip up in the mountain to capture images of the lemmings that are swarming all over the mountains. They met a very aggressive one called Timmy! See what happened in this short video. Images by Åge Jakobsen A film by Øyvind Svensen
