Are we all chasing an unrealistic coral fantasy through professional macro pics?
Very expensive DSLR camera rigs with very expensive Macro lens are presenting absolute stunning pics of coral tissues in vibrant colors and textured pigments.
Pics that you'll never see with you own eyes in your own tank. No.matter how much you spend on equipment and water quality.
I think these profesional pic's are making hobbyists feel inferior bc they can never achieve the stunning beauty of what an expensive camera rig can capture.
I mean.... its almost like your average (very impressionable) teenager girl trying to look like the young women in Glamour Magazine... then these young teenagers feel.all depressed bc they all cannot achieve the looks of an international model taken with very expensive cameras and professionally photo-edited....when they compare themselves in a makeup mirror
I think there are some common threads that can be drawn from those inferior-feeling teenagers to us ashamed hobbyists that think professionally macro photographed coral is the high standard we need to achieve
Are we all chasing a coral fantasy? Spending spending spending on everything from dosing to lights?
Thoughts?
