New shots(been a while) of my reef

[alexchern75]

I have spent so much time shooting dry wildlife and people that I have fallen out of practice with my reef shots, either way here is how the tank looked tonight

Pics # 2,3,6,7 are awesome! So are the others but those were my favorites. Lets get a FTS!

thanks! a lot of the macros I took from 20' away, I had the 70-300mm lens and it does 1-2 macro from 200-300 only, I should have gotten my little lens out. all from a Nokia camera phone

 

[alexchern75]

FTS? help me here.....For Trade Section? Far... T Society?

Full Tank Shot

 

[alexchern75]

haha, ok I will tomorrow, and before the old timers give me hell I shot it with a canon d-slr (digital reblel xt) with a Sigma 70-300mm apo dg macro lens. and close up filters for a few. for a full tank shot with that lens Id have to stand outside of the house, so Ill change lenses tomorrow night a shoot a few

It does look like a bonzai pacific coast kelp bluenassierius tells me its sargassum, pardon the spelling. He says also that some consider it a nuicant macro but he and I like it, and I do like the fact that it doesnt vine out like alot of others so it seems fairly easy to manage.

It was tucked away in some LR I got from John@yourreef.com and just really took off

Awesome camera Alex, what could I say that you possibly dont know already? Btw theres more beer where that came from if you come over and snap some shots of mine

[alexchern75]

Thanks Justin! dont worry about more beer, when I get back from vacation, i'll shoot your tank.
Hey Doug,I did meet your girlfriend, very nice lady I only used the tank lights, and I think those shots where 50/50 between 100 and 400 ISO. msg , me next week and we can set something up mixing photography and reefing, if you guys would like
MandM, the only reason I was 20'-30' from the tank was because the lens I had on the camera was way too long for the shots.

Thanks guys!
