message this message is importantHave been trying to take one like this for the longest, but I have only seen this on sandy parts of the reefs and all my shots over several trips where constantly overexposed.

message Hi Jacques. Yes, stingrays usually spent most of its time over sandy flats and the photos may be overexposed. Althgough, at the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago the sandy flats are generally covered by brown algae what makes the photographer´ task easier. When on sandy flats try using just a bit o flash and rely most on the natural light. Other god way is to compose the photo on the same plane as the fish, and include little sand on the frame. It might work better… If not, you should go to Fernando de Noronha, an spectacular place full of stingrays and jacks (over algae!). Regards, João.
