Hey everyone! Just wanted to drop by and share some photos I have been taking of my new reef tank and some of the usual suspects that have made it their home:

Longnose Hawkfish (Oxycirrhites typus)

Yellow Tang - Hawaii (Zebrasoma flavescens)

Copperband Butterflyfish (Chelmon rostratus)

True Percula Clownfish (Amphiprion percula)

Coral Beauty Angelfish (Centropyge bispinosa)

Powder Blue Tang (Acanthurus leucosternon)

Blue Tang (Paracanthurus hepatus)

Scarlet Reef Hermit Crab (Paguristes cadenati)

Scarlet Skunk Cleaner Shrimp (Lysmata amboinensis)

Great pics, what camera/lens setup are you using?

Thanks for the kind words!! I use a Canon 7D and switch between a 24-70 f/2.8 and a 70-200 f/2.8 with extension tubes or close up filter, all shot in manual and RAW format and processed with Photoshop CS5.

LOVE the Copper Band pic! I like the Angel, too. Your live rock is very pretty.

Thanks Jesse. I'll post pics here since there is a place for pics!

I'm guessing you take pics of other things with the gear you have. Those are welcome also. Look around. We all have our own little niche here!!!!

Nice stuff Robert. Some of them look HDRish. I'm from Pittsburgh. I saw one from a building my company owns.

Thanks Jesse. I like HDR for architecture since it brings out a lot of details not seen with the naked eye, just as long as they are not over processed too much and look cartoony.
