I would say your first attempt was a success. Great pics.

In Boston this past weekend where I was speaking to the club, I picked up a underwater viewing tube for the camera made by one of the members Gustavo. Could not wait to try it out

Here are some first attempts at trying to shoot the corals with this attached to the lens. Pretty stressful since I was holding on to the camera for dear life while trying to make sure I did not push the lens and tube underwater and keep the water out of the tube. Gave me cramps in my hand :lol:

So here are my first attempts at top down pics.

nice shots Sanjay. The one of the fungia is interesting. I can't see "inside" of the polyps on mine. Is that skeleton visible through the tissue or something else?

I never noticed this until I took this picture. Looks like mesenterial filaments.

great shots! could you show us a photo of the underwater viewing tube? I'd like to see how it was made.
thanks

its pretty simple, basically a tube with its end capped off and screws to allow you to put on and hold on to the lens.

Thats scary!
I'd use a Melev style box that you can fit the camera and your hand inside. Slightly more fudge factor, IMO.
Awesome colors Sanjay!

Looking great Sanjay. I can't wait to see it again soon in person to see its progress. The 30 gallon you had laying around is getting pretty filled, but will have to be moved in a couple months here since I'll be moving out of State College. I'll have to send you a pic of it soon.

Played around some more with top down pics this time with the kit lens.

Great pics Sanjay. Is that my duncan or yours?

 

[Sanjay]

That one is mine... but yours is doing quite well. I have been feeding it and it is going to be sprouting new heads soon.
