As if I wasn't already depressed about my own coloration.......

Your getting pretty good with that new camera buddy!!!

I didn't see the Vortech, were is it?
 
Wow.

You're right, your tank is too full. You really need to prune all that stuff. I'll help. I'll even dispose of all the prunings. Really. I'll make it that easy.
 
OMG.. That's INSANE!!
Dude if you're not a photographer then it's the camera!!
What kind of camera is that? Any special Lens?
What settings are you using?
Are you setting the white balance with something in the tank before shooting?

The focus is just incredible!!
 
Thanks for all the support and kind words.

Doug- I have the vortech on the right side in front of one of my nanostreams.

I am shooting these picture with a recently purchased Nikon D40x. I shoot the corals with the 105mm vr lens on a tripod with a remote shutter. The FTS was with the basic 18-55 lens. WB is the toughest as I like my tank blue. I use an expodisc for this, but there are other tricks that I have learned as well.

I am still learning as I see improvement in my shooting, but I still shoot in JPEG fine because Raw is a little too much for me to process so far.
 
Beautiful colors.

I have to say that in all my scuba diving I don't recall seeing that many different colors of coral packed into such a small area. You've done a great job!
