Post Your Tank Photos

Thanks

Thanks

Someone told me about that 105 Macro but it is pretty expensive. What about closeup filters?

With respect to the anemone, I thought I was buying a blue carpet anemone. When I first brought it home it was three inches and after six months or so it is 13 inches and growing in Dia. , so I am not sure what it is.

FVernese,

I have local reefing friend who also uses D200 & D70, his pics are way too poisonous to the point many reefers ended up having a dslr. lol

here are his collection of his pics

slcw- stunning tank you have there friend! thanks for the great photos- I like how you have dedicated so much space to let your gorgonians fill out-- as opposed to the scattered frag placement that I commonly see.

Frank- thank you for sharing your photos! Your colonies look great and I like your aquascape.

:celeb2: Have a fantastic Eve all!

The photos on this thread are great but I can not get those closeups and quality. The ones attached are fixed up on on picture project but still not the quality on this thread. I have nikon 200 can with a 18 to 70 lens and just use the flash on the camera. Can you suggest a lens to get better photos and perhaps I should get a version of Photoshop to fix them.

Thanks
Frank

You could try not using your flash and instead go with a tripod (if you arent already) to keep things steady. As long as you have decent lighting in the room- then shooting with a flash is fine imo. I find flashes reflect off of the glass too much to mess with. I am using Sigma's 105 mm for macro stuff- it is a reasonably priced lens for the results imo. And your photos are most welcome on this thread! :thumbsup:

Here are a couple of shots of my big tank, (wrasse home)

The tank looks nice Bradley, but what happened to your regal tang? It looks pretty bad, like it's got HLLE or something happened to it.

 

[bradleyj]

I had him in my 65g tank when he was younger and he would wedge himself in the rocks at night and would come out looking like he went to war. As my fish got larger, it was a very persuasive tool to get my wifes ok to go with a larger tank. lol

[klepto]

Sweet images Brad! Those zoas have some great colors. Your rabbitfish shot is nice and personal too. What camera are you using?

 

[bradleyj]

Canon XSI, MACRO lens EF 100mm 1:2.8

 

[brians4671]

nice tank Brad. Klepto that bgm stands for bubble gum monster which is a type of rare chalice. What are you shooting with? im sure you mentioned it but its a large thread.

 

[klepto]

Thanks for the explanation- nice pick up on that frag, it looks like it is settling in to your tank well.

im shooting with my first and only dslr- a nikon d50, with the stock 18-55mm Nikon lens though i mostly use Sigma's fixed focal 105mm which is capable of 1:1 true macros.

I picked up a new ora green birdsnest from my lfs the other day- they tossed in a free blue tip acro which I was stoaked about.
after I do a much needed water change, i'll post some pics.
