In July 2017, we spent nearly three weeks in the Philippines, mostly taking macro shots in Malapasqua, Puerto Galera and Anilao. Here a few of my favourite images from this trip.

Periclimenes Brevicarpalis
Shrimp. Say no more.
Nudibranch Flabellina
Tiny nudibranchs with wonderful colours. I used the Retra LSD snoot for this shot to isolate the subject from the background. Much trickier then you might think.
Pygmy Seahorse
We spent 2 whole dives checking out the beautiful pink fan coral and it's inhabitants (Hippocampus Bargibanti). These guys are tiny (maybe 10mm tall), and superbly camoflagued. But with persistence we counted 12 or 13 on this coral. Amazing
Peacock Mantis Shrimp
These Shrimp are amazing and colourful and have the most complex eyes known to man. They are also very timid, be sure it takes lots of patience and a little luck to get a photo like this.
Nudibranch - Chromodoris Annae
The most common nudibranch that we encountered in the Philippines, but undoubtedly one of the most photogenic.
Emperor Shrimp
This little guy was running around on this sea cucumber.
Fan Worm on Coral
Approach these movement sensitive fans slowly and gently so they don't retract into the coral host. Beautiful shapes and colours.
Transparent Shrimp
These transparent shrimp are elusive to photograph due to their transparent bodies.
Harlequin Shrimp Feeding
Amazing little Shrimp, they cut an arm off a Starfish and feed on it. Don't worry, the starfish grows it back.
Bubble Anemone
Love the look of these anemones. The semi transparent skins really illuminate nicely.
Ocellaris Clownfish
Beautiful Common Clownfish.
Chromodoris Annae
A pair of beautiful nudibranch.
Unusual Anemone
A most unusual green and white curly anemone hosting a yellowtail anemone fish.
