Now, are you ready to accept this information? "The deep sea is dark, and no one can see it anyway, so everyone just grows ..."-How many people have been deceived by this funny joke with no scientific basis: mistakenly think that the creatures in the underwater world are extremely ugly? Tell the truth today, and be sure to show everyone what the real "night elves" have!

When night falls, the creatures in the deep sea will gradually float to the surface of the ocean for food and reproduction under the cover of night, which makes the ocean at night a very attractive field, and a new shooting method-black water photography is born (divers look for plankton on the bottomless ocean surface through "lamp lure" at night and record it).

However, few people dare to enter the high seas at night, and it is frightening to think about it. The diving environment at night is very complicated, with calm weather, excellent photography skills, skillful diving skills, rich knowledge reserves and a firm and calm mind ... All three are indispensable, and life will be in danger if you are not careful, so blackwater photography is a very risky challenge for photographers.

"Blackwater Photography" photographed the phenomenon of "vertical migration" of plankton-the largest biological migration in the ocean occurred at night, and plankton and marine life rose from the deep sea to the top of the ocean under the cover of night, where they ate and bred ... and then returned to the deep sea at dawn.

Blackwater photographers found that the larvae of many marine life look very different from adults! They usually have dazzling colors, their bodies are almost transparent or shiny, and they look like creatures in a fantasy world. In order to find rare species, blackwater photographers often explore along ocean currents, so blackwater photography is not just as simple as shooting when diving at night!

They usually need to take a boat to the depth of 100 meters or even thousands of meters to shoot; Before shooting, the diving boat needs to throw a floating ball tied with a 30-meter-long rope, and a lead block is hung at the bottom of the floating ball. A searchlight will be placed every 5 meters on this rope to form a lamppost, which looks like a glowing sugar-coated gourd from underwater. This is the "black water main light".

Divers usually move within a radius of 30 meters around the main light. Once the diver goes far because he is too involved in shooting, he needs to turn off the light source on his body, rotate 360 degrees to find the light of the main light, and return to the safety field as soon as possible to ensure his own safety. Creatures that can emit red light like the above picture are very rare in nature. They always detour and wait silently at the red light.

Every photo here is a story, a life! Zhang Fan has photographed and recorded marine life for more than ten years, and accumulated countless precious image materials. His photos can capture a few millimeters of small creatures in detail, allowing readers to enjoy unprecedented details and charm.

What he presents is deep-sea photography, as well as the art and magic of thousands of life itself. The beauty of the blackwater world is like an underwater galaxy. There is a magnificent and psychedelic world under the cold and dark sea water that we have never seen before. No matter which page you turn to, you can feel how the little creatures wandering in the Wang Yang live and survive every day, how they hunt, breed and fight against death for survival.

This is not only a set of deep-sea photography, but also a set of exquisite books with both popular science and artistry that cannot be missed! The ocean at night is like a vast space. The mouth of the book is painted with these six small fishes of the order Millettia, which are like planets in the universe. Putting them at the mouth of a book is like collecting the whole universe.

Box bream, called "boxfish" in English, has thick and hard scales on its trunk, which makes its body into a box-shaped square. Its fat body and small short fins are extremely charming-it is a creative hand, and finally it is a "wandering Cthulhu"-an incredible colorful squid!

If you want to see more wonders of the deep sea, if you want to know more interesting knowledge about marine life, if you are also obsessed with deep-sea diving/marine life, be curious about the mystery and charm of "black water photography" ...

P.S. Not long ago, a diner almost accidentally ate a poisonous "blue-ringed octopus" in a restaurant. If he hadn't kept an eye on the Internet and asked more questions, he might have gone to the gate of hell.

Therefore, it is always right for people to read thousands of books, take the Wan Li Road, see anecdotes and increase their knowledge.
