New year, new direction. 🌊📷
Besides wildlife photography on land, I’m also deeply passionate about the underwater world — and this year I’ll finally share more of my water pictures here.
This green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) was photographed in Sulawesi – Bunaken (Indonesia), and I’m genuinely proud of this frame.
Also… tell me you see it too: doesn’t it look like “Crush” from Finding Nemo? 🐢😄
Fun fact: Green sea turtles aren’t named for their shell — they’re called “green” because their body fat can have a greenish tint, largely influenced by their mostly plant-based diet. 🌿

-Icelandic local-
On my last trip to Iceland, I couldn’t stop photographing puffins. They’re like tiny ocean spirits — built for wind, cliffs, and the raw sea, but they look like they belong in a cartoon.
What’s your favorite picture?
Did you know? Puffins’ beaks don’t always look this colorful — the bright outer parts are most vivid during breeding season, and after it they shed some of the outer beak plates, looking a bit more muted.

Red-eyed tree frog (Agalychnis callidryas) - a real rainforest icon.
This shot is from my last Costa Rica trip, and I totally fell in love with macro.
The local insect & amphibian world is absolutely packed with opportunities - every night felt like a new adventure.
Fun fact: Red-eyed tree frogs often lay their eggs on leaves hanging over water - when the tadpoles hatch, they drop straight into the water to start life there.

- Several hours.
Thousands of frames -

This image became one of the very few I would call perfect. A real moment, no AI!

Tetragonisca angustula - a stingless bee of the tropical rainforest.

Interesting fact:
This stingless bee species uses specialized guard bees at the nest entrance, identifying colony members by scent — a level of organization that rivals much larger animals.
