Image of eyelight fish

Description:

After years of trying, I finally got photos of these guys. You can only encounter them in total darkness, with your dive light turned off for at least a minute first. But then they disappear pretty quickly when you turn on a focus light to try to get the photo. I finally discovered that putting my lights on full rather than as dim as possible, the fish was somewhat stunned and stayed in front of me longer, giving me time to get off a few shots.
