Bright orange and fluo yellow makes a nice combination!

Hello!

I'm so happy with the last images I did of my ocellaris clowns that I thought I could share them...
The pair decided lately to settle in the Catalaphyllia jardinei. It's been a month now they're inside, and they absolutely love it! It's the first time i see them act like if they were in an anemone, totally relaxing in the coral, laying down, not moving, sometimes chewing on the tentacles... It's so nice to see them "happy" like this!
Before that, they were on the fungia coral, but it wasn't the same kind of confort, apparently, lol!

Well, here are some of the pics I did, I think the colours of the fishes and the ones of the coral match quite nicely!

Cheers

Fantastic shots! Great colors. What camera?

 

[kactusficus]

Hi Edwing!
I'm very proud you like mi pics
It's been done with Nikon D200, Sigma 17/70 for the wider shot, and Sigma Macro 105 for the close ups. In adddition, I used the infrared flash system (SB-R1) for the macro shots.

great shots. one question tho. why an infrared flash?

 

[kactusficus]

HI Fatrip,

By "infrared", I meant cordless flash (TTL), it's a small flash system not relied to the camera, that I can use for a lot of different purposes (like putting one on a tripod over the tank, to make another kind of lightning...)
Sorry for the misunderstanding if you thought the strobe was giving "infrared" light flash...

 

[fatrip]

gotcha...yea that s what i had thought that you for some reason were flashing IR in the tank when taking the pic...lol...sorry for my photo nubieness...lol...
