About the Photographer
Retired pro, but a lifelong amateur at heart. Also a diver with decades of experience, and still addicted to underwater photography. I never go to water without a camera, to be able to record the beauties of the submerged Nature. Which, as you well know, covers the largest part of the Earth.
I will enjoy what our wonderful Earth offers to our eyes and mind for as long as I can.
Electric ray (Torpedo marmorata) in the shade of Adriatic depths. The fish has just arrived and landed on a nearby outcrop, raising clouds of sediment. Took some frames with Nikonos III, carefully keeping my distance. The fish can discharge pretty powerful electric shocks, and deep down its the last thing youd wish to experience!
Electric fishes use their high voltage charge to hunt by stunning their prey. While the science generally understands their electric battery / capacity mechanism, were still know nothing about "the switch" which enables them to discharge at will. Photo by:
