'Dolphins swimming in bioluminescence by Su_G' (https://www.spoonflower.com/fabric/10082290): on midnight blue. My entry in Spoonflower's 'Bioluminescence' Design Challenge. © Su Schaefer 2020 ~ with thanks to photographer Patrick Coyne, whose footage of dolphins swimming through bioluminescent waters, creating luminous wakes (shot at Newport Beach, California) was my inspiration. The following includes a link to the YouTube footage which is fabulous, ~59 secs, some discussion on how he did it and just how hard it was: https://petapixel.com/2020/04/25/photographer-captures-dolphins-swimming-in-bioluminescence/. Apparently the "bioluminescence has sweet spots to where it shows up and then fades away so while on the water it’s impossible to just find it" and “Not only that but actually finding any type of animal in pitch black is just so ridiculously hard. Conditions have to be absolutely perfect [for] the bioluminescence to show up and to have an animal swim through it so we can film it." He shared more details on cameras, apertures, etc. used as well. Thank you Patrick Coyne! See other aquatic designs by Su_G.
