Nice pics!! What filter do you use? I’m in the market for one.

Don't want to rain on your parade, but just few friendly suggestions to help improving your photo skills:

Pictures looks blurry-suggest tripod and shutter speed of at least 1/125 or faster
Dept of field seem also shallow-suggest f stop of f 1/16-f 1/22
Picture have blue hue-you can partially correct it in post processing software or change your light spectrum ( temporarily for the shot) or use flash

Thank You! Just getting started with taking photos not using my iPhone. I appreciate the suggestions.

Macro photography is arguably one of the most difficult, small depth of field, motion exacerbated by small distance, issues with even illumination of the subject and on top of that in reef aquarium we are using single spectrum light and filters are rather ineffective correcting that.

Looking good!

We bought a mirrorless Nokia a year ago or so and never use it...

Our S23 Ultras really do a nice job, unless you're really looking small details on a picture.

Video is no contest between the S23 Ultra and Nokia, the S23 is so much better... which I thought was weird.

I honestly like my 10 yr old dslr over my new mirror less lol.
