Picture Thread

[dascharisma]

Since summer is winding down, I imagine that there will be a bit more activity within the club. I thought a picture thread might be a fun way to kick things off.


Here are a few taken by Sarah and me today.

Let's keep this thread going with lots of new pics.

I need to borrow your lense, Awesome Pictures!!!!!

 

[einsteins]

Well done!

What camera, lens etc?

 

[mwood]

Brad, is your tank that blue or is that just how the pic turn out? I bought new bulbs and the pics turn out very blue.

PS, great looking color as always.

Those are awesome pictures Brad! I can't get anything near what you can with your camera but thought I'd contribute a pic to keep your picture thread rolling.

That is some incredible pics. What is the first one?

 

[dascharisma]

Thanks for the compliments guys. I am using a Canon digital Rebel. Those pics are taken with the 100mm macro lense.
The first two are staight actinic shots. My camera does really well with vho actinics but it never looks close on my tank with pc actinics. The last pic is with one Radium on over the opposite side of the tank as the coral, which gives a mix of light that my camera seems to like. All the colors are what the camera sees, with no photoshop. For every pic worth keeping I take about 100.
The first coral is a echinophyllia. The second one is my bonsai frag from Slovan, and the third is a tiny frag of a small colony that was stung to death in Dan's tank.

This clam sits on the starboard up front, in the middle of the tank. The left halide is on and the right halide is off. The high angle causes a bit of distortion for the camera, but the color is great.
