Photographing My Reef

[Michael B]

Must admit it is far more challenging photographing a tank than birds in flight etc (which is my other hobby), here are some shots of my tank?

Great looking tank Michael, I really like to clean back glass. Don't care for the coraline all over the back. Good work and nice photography also.

For these shots I used a Canon 1D MK II N, with a 17 to 40mm lens. Used AV mode with an f-stop of either 5 or 5.6. Iso 400 to 800 depending on speed I was getting (some with flash & some with out)

Great work. the effort definitely shows. the contrast is very bright and colorful and so sharp and clean
I need to scrape my coralline algae and vaccum my sandbed now
