WOW just beautiful Matt!!! You have some really top notch corals buddy, you could photo one acro a day and have no repeats in a calendar year, maybe not that many, but dang buddy you have a collection
Thanks Perry! I have waaaay to many corals.. and they are beginning to grow into each other.. I can't stop.. but it does allow me to end up with a lot of very nice pieces..
are you FU**ING kidding me Matt?
first of all you have to tell me how and with what you take those pictures?!!
second your corals look amazing, how shall i catch up to you...?
thanks for sharing!!
Flo
Thanks, Flo. I have a canon eos70D and for close ups I use the 100mm L macro lens... nothing sharper..
I also use an EF-S 15-85 for most of the wider shots. not quite as sharp but not bad..
Everything looks great. I cant bring myself to buy a JD, it just doesnt look enough. have you ever been able to pull the colors of the original stock pic or amything close to it?
I love the jaw dropper despite the fact that I'll never colour it up like the photos on line.. unless I use a little photoshop..
I got mine as a rescue from a reefing friend who, because of life, renovations and tank upgrades, had to tear his tank down.\ before his new one was ready... that was like 9 months ago! Eric, I'm not complaining..
I have no idea what type of coral the jaw dropper is.. Looks a bit like turaki sometimes..
In my frag system, under 4 blue plus, fiji and coral plus, it looks its best.. really intense red. I actually have two pieces. Ive added both to my dt. the one i photographed is up his and about 3 times the size of the other one. I put the other one down low to see how it reacts..
i think under intense t5 with a lot of blue, one could colour it up pretty well. I'm very curious to see the form it takes as it grows.
Wow Matt. I guess it is soon time for me to take a road trip to visit Uncle Raja. Very nice pieces.
A little off topic, but I see you use Photobucket. I recently set up an account and have bought one of their packages for unlimited bandwidth. I have a build thread going on and the images use to show, but now they don't. (
A Capital Dream - 400g SPS build.). I can still go to photobucket by clicking on the broken link icon, but can't figure out why this is happening. Would you have any ideas? Thanks.
Ward
Hey Ward, Raja often has super nice pieces and is the only store in Montreal getting really rare, sexy and high end stuff. But like any shop, it's hit and miss but he's usually got something up his sleeve. To be fair, and if you are traveling from Ottawa, and sps is your thing, then there is a store in Laval called Reef Solution that often has a good selection of sps as well.
As for the photo bucket issues, I only use my phone for editing and uploading to photo bucket and in the phone app, I just copy the img. link and past it on RC.. Matt will certainly be more helpful than me for that..
I will go check out your build thread.
Matt if you can please text me your adress in Canada, also the times you are not home. Imao im going sps stealing. Wow man insane
Hey Jorge (I think it's Jorge..) Thanks! I know a couple of places we can break into for getting really good stuff! Let me know when you are up in Canada and we can pull Bonny and Clyde reefing robbery spree!!
That new on....wow. If it stays that blue then you may not need to lust after Mark's Lokani any more:lol:
You may be right, Matt! But I'll lust after that lokani anyways.. as well as several of your corals!
