Taro the turtle floated near his favorite brain coral, adjusting his underwater camera with careful flippers. He loved photographing the reef—every angle revealed something new. Today, he noticed something puzzling in his viewfinder. Strange, shimmering shadows danced across the sandy bottom, but when he looked up from his camera, they vanished. "How curious," he murmured, snapping another photo. The shadows appeared only through his lens. What could be creating these mysterious patterns that his camera could see but his eyes couldn't?

"Look at these shadows, Dash. They only appear in my photos." Dash squinted at the images, his wide-set eyes focusing. "Weird! Maybe your camera's broken?" But Taro shook his shell slowly. "No, it works perfectly for everything else. These shadows must be real—but why can't we see them directly?" The mystery made his flippers tingle with excitement.
