Congrats @mdbannister, this was a fantastic picture. Tell us what’s the secret behind the photo being so clear. Special camera, or phone app?
Thanks! It's crazy bc I usually use a DSLR, but for this one I just happened to catch this guy out on the rocks after lights out. I pressed my phone (Samsung Galaxy S7) flat against the glass and used the flash (no reflection since the phone was pressed to the glass). This is by far my best reef picture, and I consider it basically a stroke of luck. LOL
