I have Photoshop. Played with a trial for a while, but when it expired I never bothered installing the key I have for it. I've been thinking I need to give it another go, but seem to be able to accomplish more than I would have guessed with FW.

Fantastic shots, very nice

Thanks!

Here's one of the first pics from playing around with the bellows Santa brought.

The bellows introduces some interesting challenges.

Wow, those last two shots look like they're not even taken in visible light.
Nice

Man those are some amazing shots. Seeing those really makes me want to upgrade my camera.

 

[MJSavage]

Nice! Not much depth of field though. Is that with the NightSea filter?

All I can say is WOW!! You are very tallented. Do you have any full tank shots?

Mike, that last shot was taken through the bellows with the Nikon 105VR, manual focused. Unfortunately this lens doesn't have an aperature ring and the cam can't control the aperature. So I'm stuck with the DOF wide open. Agreed, it would have been better with DOF. Part of the challenge of working with the bellows. No night sea.

Thanks, Jerry. Sorry, no FTS at the moment. Too busy playing with the macros! Where in Jersey? NJRCs meeting this month is up in Hunterdon Cty.

I'm in Watchung. Not very far but I'm just way too busy right now. My wife and I just had another baby (3 months) and work has been insane.

Congrats on the new reefer! Enjoy.

Beautiful shots! I really like that second one. What type of coral is it?

Mike

 

[Phyl]

Thanks! That's a Cyphastrea.

 

[MJSavage]

That one is new to me. I will have to look it up.

Thanks,

Mike

2/3 down the page is the one from Atlantis. Luckily I got mine from an LFS and didn't pay near ATL prices for it.

Curious why you can't use night sea with tubes on?
