Hard shots – the many many misses

I love butterflyfishes but I find them very hard to photograph. They are very shy indeed!

Butterflyfish has disc-like body. So if you are facing them from the front or from tail, then you will only see one very thin line HAHAHAHA very effective survival strategy!!

That’s how most of my photos are….. loads of misses. Here are some fail to pass shots that I took.



Ya the last photo there is not a butterflyfish... moorish idol. But they have same thin body bah.

The trick is to follow the fish slowly and get the rhythm of its movement. Do not make sudden movement as it will spook the poor fellow. Start clicking (furiously) when it is starting to move with its side facing you. Pray that your shot is focused :) well that’s it… simple huh!


Still not good enough... sigh.
