RE: Algae up close

in Photography Lovers2 months ago

It is almost like a cocoon. I have always loved the greens that Fuji cameras produce. I love this green, but not necessarily the subject matter. Algae is blooming (a toxic variety) and killing so much sealife in my corner of the world.

The government has a plan to treat it with oysters / clams, because they'll feed off it, but this up close detail shows that it is a life unto itself.

So much we don't understand about our planet. So much more I don't understand :)

Sort:  

I have the images edited - Fuji's Classic Chrome simulation and tweaked the green quite a bit to bring it back close to how it looks in person. But yeah in general I really like Fuji's colors as well. And just the overall 'feeling' the camera captures I don't even know how haha.

Anything that is too much is not good.. I've read in one of the algae facts as well that about 250 million years ago, earth had a massive extinction and algae bloom almost prevented life to recover. Crazy how fast they grow despite the environment lol so I hope the clams will be able to control them.

They have their unique colour science! :)

Incredible research in the link you provided, but I am nowhere near scientific enough (or silly enough to pretend to be) to understand the level of detail - looking for the post-death biomarkers in the limestone offers an incredible insight.

Everything leaves its mark, we just have to look closely to find it.

A local guy has written about the algae bloom in pretty plain language. Helps to understand what is going on.
