I like to use contrast in images. Often that contrast comes from light and dark. Other times it's from opposite colors.
In Puerto Rico, I had an opportunity to capture contrast in two butterflies — and the contrast was essentially the element of time.
Whether you call it Mosquito Bay, BahÃa Bioluminiscente or something else, the bioluminescent bay on the Puerto Rican island of Vieques is the world’s brightest. The Guinness Book of World Records says so.
The glow comes from dinoflagellates, which are not particularly rare. They’re a type of plankton and are found in most ocean water. What makes Mosquito Bay special, however, is how concentrated they are there.
