playing with the camera...

[waverz]

Took a bunch of shots tonight and had a couple turn out decent. I am having a hard time taking pictures of the corals near the top of the tank because the lights are so bright. All of my shots seem over exposed. Anyway, here are a couple that turned out.

Green slimer

Birdsnest frag I won at the Mitch Carl meeting in IC. Thanks Allen!

"The Center Piece" Red Cap Thanks Al! Its doing really well and is growing fast!

Out of about 30 pics these are the ones that turned out decent.

Just thought i would share.

Just think how expensive it would be to take pictures if we didn't have digital cameras.



That cyano is starting to get on my nerves, it can go away any day now. I guess it does make my tank look a little more purple.

LOL

PE on that slimer is insane.

 

[waverz]

Been having good PE on everything lately, must be doing something right.

Here's a few more.

ORA Blue Tort

A. Plana And some Mystery Acro

Chalice

Blue Echinata

Blue Tenuis? This colony came with some LR I bought a long time ago.

A. Lokani? One of my favorites

Rainbow Monitipora

Some sweet milli i got from Allen it's pink and greeen so not sure what to call it.

A nice green acro that i saved from Jason Glaspies sump of brown coral. Thanks J!

Enjoy!

you have some great looking corals! I have a rainbow monti also, but the polyps on mine are mostly green, with a few orange'ish polyps. Are those all under the 400W MH lights? Mine are under T5's; about 8 inches below the surface. Just curious because i have been thinking about changing to 250W MH.

 

[waverz]

Thanks man! Yup they are under 3 400 watt 20k XM's.

 

[jtesdall]

Those are awesome Jeremy! How old are some of them? That is some good growth for what I assume are young frags.

 

[waverz]

Well, usually when i buy or aquire frags they are bigger than the normal size frags you usually see for sale. The blue tenuis i got from some dude i bought live rock from, it just the base of the colony so all of those branches are a little over a year old. I am sure it would be a lot bigger by now but i just switched from 150's to 400's. The birdsnest was was a frag i won at the bruce carl meeting this spring I really can't believe how fast it grows.

Right now my bulbs are about a year and a half old, I am really hoping to sell some of this stuff at the swap so i can get new ones.

Nice pictures. I especially like the cap pic. What camera are you using?
Did you make any adjustments to white balance?

 

[annamarie421]

Wow! Things are looking great Jeremy! How about a FTS?

[waverz]

Thanks tibbs. I am using a Canon A610. AS far as white balance i am just using the underwater preset. I am however manually adjusting everything else.

 

[js_bass]

wow amazing, can we get a full tank shot. Also what type of camera did you use.

 

[Duke13]

Dude, that cap looks awesome. I kept a few frags so I'm hoping it will some day get back to that size.

 

[waverz]

I'll try and get a FTS later tonight....

A friend of mine is a "professional photographer" and has lenses you can take pictures of bacteria with. Should be able to get some pretty sweet coral shots with that one. I am going to have him come over one of these next couple weeks and get some real nice pics hopefully.
