🐠 Hello from the Coral Kingdom: My "Nemo" and Second Dive into Macro! ✨

[curly-xu]

Hello, Photography Lovers! 🥰📷

Do you remember my macro lens experiments with flowers? I'm so happy you enjoyed them! Your kind words inspired me to new "exploits," and today I am ready to share the result of my second dive into the amazing world of macro. But this time, we are going... underwater! 🌊

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Aquarium Wilhelmshaven, and of course, I brought my camera and my new macro lens along. I took many different shots of the inhabitants, but I decided to start processing these ones first—these orange-and-white beauties that remind me so much of my favorite animated movie, "Finding Nemo"! 🧡

📸 My Underwater Tools

For this "underwater" photo hunt, I used:
• Camera: Sony A7c
• Lens: Sony FE 90mm F2.8 Makro G OSS
• Editing: Adobe Lightroom

Using the macro lens, I managed to capture details that are usually invisible: the texture of their scales, the expressiveness of their eyes, and even the tiny bubbles of air around them. It was a real challenge—shooting fast-moving fish through aquarium glass, but I was lucky: this specific tank was separate and quite small, so getting two clownfish to stay focused wasn't an insurmountable problem. 😎🔥
The result, I think, was worth it!✨😇

💖 Meeting Nemo (and His Friend!)

You know, watching them, my heart just melted. It was so sweet and genuinely touching! Especially when one of the fish buried itself deep into the anemone's tentacles—it was so endearing that I could barely contain my emotions while trying not to startle my "models." It felt like I found my own little piece of a coral reef, full of childhood wonder and magic. 🥺

I hope these shots of the clownfish give you the same feeling of adoration and joy that they gave me! Share in the comments which "Nemo" captured your heart the most! 👇
