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.

AN IMAGINARY COMPILATION ALBUM : #302: ANGEL - THE NEW VINYL VILLAIN

An unplanned ICA. One with a difference. And in all honesty, one that doesn't hang perfectly but it might spark off some ideas among all of you out there.
