Gauguin? Matisse? Miró? Well, actually, it’s… sea slug! 🤗 A team at the Max Planck Institute of Colloids & Interfaces discovered that #nudibranchs - a type of marine slug often called 'the #butterflies of the #sea' - produce their brilliant hues not with pigment chemistry as previously thought, but through structural colouration, arranged in pixel-like patterns.🦋🐚🎨.🌊 More: https://www.mpg.de/26287823/impressionist-sea-slugs [Credit: Samuel Humphrey/MPI of Colloids and Interfaces]

Peirce Island in New Hampshire was positively overflowing with nudibranchs last week. This image was captured with my Olympus OM-1 and Olympus 8mm fisheye lens to really show off the abundance of hydroids (nudi food!) and great visibility. This image features a pair of Flabellina verrilli that were each around 4 inches long. It was a beautiful day in the chilly water!

My January dive recap is live. I only managed two dives, but they were both with my new OM-1 photo rig! Check the blog for the recap and (most importantly) pictures.

A little preview from my dive at Peirce Island in Portsmouth, NH yesterday. Easily saw hundreds of nudibranchs. More pictures to come! Captured with my Olympus OM-1 + 8mm fisheye. #scuba #scubadiving #underwaterphotography #NewEngland #nudibranchs #olympus #om1 📷 🦑

Just a little preview from my dive at Peirce Island in Portsmouth, New Hampshire yesterday. Easily saw hundreds of nudibranchs while I was playing around with my fisheye lens and freezing my hands off. More pictures to come!

I had seen Red-tipped Sea Goddess nudibranchs only once or twice before, but I saw probably 10 of them on this trip to the Bahamas. Most lived on dark colored sponges, but this one was out in the sand, which gave me a great opportunity to get in close for some super macro shots.

I was looking in the sand for some other tiny slugs when I spotted this little leaf sheep (Costasiella ocellifera). It was about the size of a grain of rice and I didn't really have time to nail the focus as the group was moving on. Still super cool to see!
