This category brings together all blog entries featuring photos taken either on land or underwater. Sometimes it is a mix of both. Some blog posts focus more on the stories behind and around while others are mainly photo galleries. Dive into different areas, themes, and styles. Photography is what you make of it!
Our next candidate of the group of ambush predators presented in “They got the look” is the devil scorpionfish a.k.a. false stonefish presenting its sinister style with venom. In general, we don’t think it is very nice to call somebody or something false. This fish is pretty real and has […]

Over the last weeks, we posted pictures with scientific explanations on classifications of marine life on Instagram and Facebook. As not everybody is (regularly) on social media, I am happily putting it all together in one post now: Let’s talk scientific! Let’s talk scientific! Tiger cowrie When looking only at the […]

A warm welcome for the next members of the ambush predators: They got the look. The cackatoo and white face waspfish are the living proof that punk’s not dead, just in hiding, waiting for the right moment to make a move. Having difficulties getting out of bed during the day, in combination with […]

Ich liebe das Meer und all seine Bewohner. In diesem Sinne versuche ich jeden Tauchgang unvoreingenommen zu beginnen, mich einfach auf das zu freuen, was wohl kommen mag, um mit offenen Augen auch die Schönheit und das fotografische Potential der vermeintlich gängigen Unterwasserlebewesen wertzuschätzen.
