Turner Forte Photography- Hoerzu Wissen

admin — Fri, 07 May 2010 20:58:26 +0000

James’ shot of this lovable clownfish and anemone was published recently in a German magazine called Hoerzu Wissen. Most people think of Nemo when they see it. Here’s what James said about the photo:

“The clownfish photo was taken in the Solomon Islands on a reef named Velvia Reef. The photo was taken at night while clownfish are calmer. I marked the area during the day with a buoy so I could come back at night and take pictures when the animals are more relaxed. Clownfish during the day tend to dart all over and hide from you. At night they sleep or relax in the safety of the anemone. The anemone info is: magnificent sea anemone, Heteractis magnifica. These anemones are poisonous top fish, but not man. Hence they offer protection to the clownfish from predators.”

Belize is like Swiss cheese. There are endless caves and subterranean tunnels, and one that we explored, Caves Branch River, is just outside of Belize City. We tubed through the jungle floating in and out of caves and caverns. With head lamps lighting our way, we disembarked a few times to explore the stalagmites and stalactites. The water is a little frigid, but the anticipation and adventure keeps you going. Check out Sport Diver and the opener to their Belize story to see our work! Cheers.

James captured this free diver swimming after a Manta Ray down in Baja, Mexico. It has such great movement and intrigue… Definitely makes me want to be there! Check it out in this month’s Sport Diver…

Salmon River Rafting Photography

Here’s a peak at some of the photos made on a recent rafting trip to the Salmon River in Idaho. We had about the same range in weather as we did in rapids- from sunshine to storms and from smooth calm water to adrenaline pumping rapids. It was an adventurous experience navigating the turns of the river in both a raft and an inflatable kayak. Sam Castaldo was a great guide and I’d ride with him any day! Enjoy the photos!

Eastern Sierras Fishing & Kayaking Photos

Here are some recent photos from a trip up to Bishop Creek Canyon in the Eastern Sierras. Even on a busy weekend, we were able to find an incredible campsite right next to Bishop Creek. We relaxed by the campfire and even caught some trout 10 feet from our site. We fished at Intake II and North Lake while making a kayak excursion on South Lake. We had incredible cool mountain weather and could see hints of fall colors. Enjoy!

Texas Fishing Photography

Our stock library is constantly growing. It’s always fun to come across images and rework them. After processing this one and looking at it more, the sky is amazing. The dock leading out to the huge storm cell can be interpreted in so many ways… This huge storm supercell grew quickly on the horizon of the Laguna Madre when we were fishing for redfish a year or two back on the Texas Gulf Coast. As the storm approached rapidly, James kept telling the guide, “one more, one more shot” and within minutes the storm blanketed the skies and turned day into what felt like night. Our guide, Freddie Lynch (the best guide down there) jetted to the nearest fishing camp and we ran for cover while the storm passed. Not the photos we were thinking we would get, but definitely keepers!
