NEON WAVES 2020 a Film by Alex Nye Time lapse film of the glowing blue bioluminescent ocean water in San Diego California, 2020. I took over 16, 000 photos and filled up over 1TB of data shooting the Bioluminescence Phenomenon in San Diego. This is a culmination of my best time lapses from my explorations, edited into a short film. There was something so magical and mesmerizing about the neon waves. Capturing it was so fun and rewarding, its that thrill and energy that makes me obsessed with photography Bioluminescence occurs through a chemical reaction that produces light energy within an organism s body.
