Hokay,
So today I forked over quite a bit of money for a brand new Digital SLR camera. I went with a entry level one, that was also one of, if not the cheapest. It cost me $600, but after seeing these pics and what I can do with it, I figured it was totally worth it.
L.S.D. - Our green dragonet
One of the worms that calls our tank home
One of the few, if not the last hermits left. He's eating the Bubble Algae.
Pepe Le Tramp our fire shrimp. This was taken shortly after he smacked the mandarin for swimming in his overhang after the mandarin ran from me taking pics.
This is a pic of the sump. The floating white things are what I call Podjects. They are little floating homes for the pods. I have the algae in the in-tank refuge. They consist of the white sheets of plastic that have the squares cut out of them that you get for crafting. Each sheet is seperated by a small strip on the top and bottom to seperate them so the pods can crawl in between. So far they are working pretty good. Just a little experiment I am trying out.
This is a tank shot.
This is a full tank shot. I don't have my hood on yet, have to cut it to fit the MH lights in it.
This is me playing around with the shutter speed to see if I could get a decent night shot w/just the moonlights. Have a little more reading to do, but our old point-and-shoot camera would have "just said no."
All of these were taken tonight after the lights went off without a proper tripod. I still have some learning to do, but so far it is a beautiful camera.
Tomorrow is tank cleanup day. Gots to do all the usual stuff. I think I'm going to take the overflow plumbing off and run some hot water through it tomorrow to get rid of some of the buildup.
