Come on, a little article just to help you see the tiny and very shy seahorse-pygmy that I had photographed in Sogod Bay<\/a>...since many of you have been unable to find him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

A tiny seahorse, hiding in the gorgonians...<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This tiny \"sea horse\" lives hidden in gorgonians, whose appearance and color it imitates. L'Hippocampus bargibanti<\/em> has little pinkish-mauve bumps, to better deceive its predators and... underwater photographers! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I could admire this one in Sogod Bay<\/a>in the Philippines, in the south of the island of Leyte. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"We<\/a>
It is necessary to have the eye, to locate the tiny seahorse-pygmy!<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Without our Filipino guide Pedro and his lynx eye, we would never have been able to distinguish the creature, wrapped around its gorgonian branch. The famous seahorse-pygmy is about as big as the nail of my little finger...<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Obviously, with my compact camera, focusing on such a small subject in the interlacing \"branches\" of gorgonian is a bit of a mission impossible. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here it is again!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Updated 15 April 2008 :<\/strong> I add the magnified and processed image on the way back, below... The quality is not extraordinary, but we can distinguish it better, no?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It's
This is the first time I manage to photograph a seahorse-pygmy... Not easy, it is not bigger than the nail of my little finger (Sogod Bay, Leyte, January-February 2008)<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Updated: May 2016<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

About eight years after this very first picture made at that time with my modest compact camera, I have made a lot of progress with seahorses... \ud83d\ude04 I invite you to visit the link below, with pictures taken at\u00a0Canon Eos 7D<\/a>, in March 2016, in Triton Bay (West Papua, Indonesia):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
