"Reef Life" Photo of the Day: October 15, 2015

"Reef Life." This is another photo from one of my dives on the Great Barrier Reef that borders the eastern coast of Australia. The sheer amount of life residing throughout this incredible ecosystem is truly extraordinary.

"The Stingray" Photo of the Day: August 21, 2015

Here is a photo of an incredible animal that I came across while snorkeling on some sandbars in the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Northeastern Australia. The species is a Blue-Spotted Stingray, and I encountered several of these while snorkeling. Stingrays are personally some of my favorite fish and seeing them in the wild was a real treat!

"The Aquarium" Photo of the Day: August 17, 2015

While visiting an aquarium recently I shot this photo. From a technical standpoint it was a challenge to shoot because the inside of the aquarium needed a long exposure to light it up properly, however the children and fish were all moving so fast that there were frequently blurred subjects!

The Great Barrier Reef is by far the largest living organism in the world and is the only one visible from outer space. Despite the fact that I got very seasick on the two hour trip out to the reef and threw up four times on the boat (in my defense the crew said that it was one of the roughest days on the water in a long time) what was waiting under the surface made it more than worth it. If you ever get the change to visit this beautiful underwater world, do it! ‪#‎photooftheday‬ ‪#‎greatbarrierreef‬ ‪#‎nature‬ ‪#‎art‬‪#‎australia‬ ‪#‎underwater‬

This beautiful animal emerged from out of the blue while I was exploring the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Northeastern Australia this past Sunday. This dinner plate-sized Bluespotted Stingray (Dasyatis kuhlii) was one of the hundreds of incredible aquatic lifeforms that captivated me with their beauty that day. Isn't it cute??
