Jellyfish kiss under the castle

Jellyfish kiss under the castle

Photo and caption by Adriano Morettin

This summer there was a significant presence of this type of jellyfish (Rhyzostoma pulmo and Cothyloriza tuberculata) in the Adriatic Sea in front of Trieste where I live. So I immediately thought to photograph with the backdrop of Miramare Castle which is one of the most beautiful castles overlooking the sea in the world. I struggled to get two jellyfish in a favorable position close to the surface in order to obtain the image of the castle in transparency. I used my beloved Nikon D800E with the Sigma 15mm fisheye in Seacam housing with the Superdome and two flash Seacam 150.
