it has down all the elements the legs
the pincers the ice stalks the antennae
so took a few images the shadow looked
amazing the lighting was great yet there
was just something missing
coconut crabs are really good indicator
of how untouched and how pristine an
island environment really is they’re
large they’re fairly predictable they’re
pretty slow and they taste phenomenal
I’ve heard and looking at the sheer
number of coconut crabs on the a toll
and really illustrates how untouched and
how intact our da Burris terrestrial
environment really is nobody there the
largest restful crustacean on our planet
2 3 kgs in weight there is talk about
leg spans of 3 foot plus they are the
true beasts of the crustacean world so
one evening when one of the Rangers was
measuring one of the larger crabs her
head torch cast a shadow onto the ground
and it was this most incredible arachnid
science fiction shadow that was just so
iconic and so I have to somehow
incorporate that beast like silhouette
into the image of the coconut crab I
really wanted to pay homage to all those
horror and science fiction films because
a lot of these alien creatures have a
crab-like resemblance
as I was walking back to the station I
walked past this old coral rock building
here and I took my torch put it sort of
eye level with a large crap that was
sitting in front of the building and it
costs the most kick-ass shadow was just
one of those just like you go whoa so I
had a person in the doorway and all of a
sudden the first image started coming
together and you start going okay all
right this is working you know the
balance of the image the light the head
towards the light streaming out and of
course the crab shadow on the wall there
was again one element missing and as I
was thinking about that there was a crap
that was scuttling along and that was
the last piece of the puzzle the last
element that had to come together
