Efflo Pics Taking Under Different Light

[Deepsea2005]

Hi guys,

I found out something interesting with my Efflo when I took its pictures under different settings with my Coolpix 8700.
The funny thing is none of this pics look as cool as my Efflo in the real life. Might be my Efflo is not photogenic, or I'm a bad photographer, (I'm sure know I am).
Anyway, hope you like them.

Here are 14" Efflo

UNDER 20K RADIUM 400 AND 240W URI TRUE ACTINIC

UNDER 20k RADIUM 400 WITH FLASH

UNDER 20k RADIUM 400 WITH OUT FLASH

NO LIGHT WITH FLASH

Kahan, very nice, would like to see it in person sometime again. Almost big enough to frag. Your tank is probably the nicest I have ever seen, and the frags I got from you are something else. Michael R

Radiums with no Flash looks best. More detail, even though you dont get to see the blue edge as much.
You dont have any with just Actinic.
I think I've told you before that's a beautiful Piece. So perfectly Uniform. I'm sure you know you could make a small fortune with that thing, lots of square inches

I've got lots of pics of my Efflos under different lighting, dont want to tie up your thread early on. If you want I will post some later.

Do you ever have any of the problems people post about with their efflos getting the White Patches?

Do you get polyp extension on the edges? Give us a closeup if you can.

Great Efflo, These are what got me into SPS, saw my first Efflo, and said, gotta get something like that.
Thanks for sharing.

Sweet piece. I like the 20K without flash best. I can never get good pics, I got the wrong macro lens to go with my DSLR, at least a more difficult version of the right lens. I think I am going to sell it on ebay and get the right lens so I can deal with the white balance. Taking pics is always a tough challenge, especially under 14K-20K's. I think you did pretty good.

Nice pics. I try not to use the flash ever for coral shots. Tends to wash colors out. The flash works well to "freeze" a fish or to compensate for uneven tank lighting.

I like the Radiums with actinics. :thumbsup:

Wow, how big is that thing? Spectacular under any light.

You idiot!!! Now I want one!!! Awesome coral. I've never seen one of those, and I've been around a while. I keep seing someone with "home of the world's ugliest efflo". I've always been intrigued, but could never figure out what that meant. Now that I know what an efflo is, I want one! Thanks for giving me my new obsession!
