Corals at Ocean's Floor

Got a chance to photograph corals at Ocean's Floor (lfs) in Lake in the Hills, IL. Thanks to Dave for the opportunity to work on my photography skills. Here are some from the effort.

Thanks Flame and Bronco. These were shot with Canon 20D DSLRs. The first five were shot with a Sigma EX 180-mm macro lens and a 12-mm extension tube. The last two were shot with a Sigma EX 50-mm macro lens. All shots were done with the camera mounted on a tripod using a remote release and mirror lockup. Lighting was available tank light. Shots were done in the RAW format and processed in Photoshop CS2. Probably more than you want to know, but there it is.
