Water plant magic

Water always creates unusual conditions for photography. If the weather is good and the surface of the water is smooth, then you can make beautiful splits (photos on the floor of the water). And if the surface of the wind and bad weather. It's time to play with the waves.



At this time, reflections become abstract pictures. And underwater vegetation begins to move in an intricate dance. If you are not afraid to be in the epicenter of the elements - it's time for the photo.



These photos I did on Kunashir (southern Kuril Islands). The water of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk off the coast there is quite warm in the summer. In August, it can be 15 and even 18 degrees. Therefore, in the shallows there is a huge number of marine plants.



They are all dense enough to create a single mass. In this case, very strong, so that in bad weather not be torn from the root.



Tides, waves and currents shake these grassy fields in one direction and then into another. If you are lucky and the weather will be sunny, which is rare in this region. Then you can enjoy an amazing game of color. Bright green, orange, blue, yellow.
Owing to the reverse surface of the water, these colors are mixed and flow into each other.



Unfortunately, during storms and just strong winds, the water becomes cloudy. In it, a lot of suspended matter and fragments of plants are constantly spinning. This prevents to fully see and photograph these living underwater fields.



However, this is a special pleasure. To be there, to see and feel all this on yourself. Conducting in the water for several hours is very tired of constant struggle, but it's worth it.

Based on the materials of the expedition to Kunashir, under the project Underwater World of the Far East.
