Wallpaper... BIG files posted here

[gregr]

many times i've edited pictures that i wanted to share with everyone but they're just too big- and it feels awful to shrink them down. so- i thought why not make a thread for people to post wallpaper type pictures for people to view, and if you want use as wallpaper (that's what i do).
to start with, here's a picture from the reef tank at the Aquarium of the Pacific:

Here's a shot I liked, although the fish could have been a bit more in focus.

Greg can I ask what kind of camera you are using and the settings etc...? I just picked up a G5 to replace my Sony S70 I have had for a few years and am still getting the hang of it.

Thanks Greg. It really has surpassed my 29g as the crown jewel of the living room. I need to do something about my 29g!

Everyone that has been over this week has told me the tank is completely full and has no room for another thing!

Here's one for you.

Very nice Dave, but is that your tank or that Japanese one that they post quite often?

 

[dave2184]

Thats that Japanese tank.

This is my wallpaper i believe this is the 850 gallon that was on a thread here somewere.

That is Steveweast's tank. He's got a heck of a thread that covers all the details. Nice big image!

The one thing you don't see is his herd of Rose BTAs. But look at that beautiful sand. He vacuums it weekly, and it is only 1" deep.

The tank is 84" from the front to the back, and he's successfully caring for 2 purple gonioporas. It really deserves Tank Of The Year.

 

[dave2184]

It really deserves Tank Of The Year.

I'll second that!!

 

[shawnz28]

yeah that was just nevermind, do you use flash for your fish close ups? also what kind of camera do you use?

 

[Secret Agent Man]

Peek-a-Boo!

 

[gregr]

yeah- i use a flash a lot. not for sps though as it wreaks havoc with the colors.
this was made with a Canon 10D and 100mm macro lens. lucky for me this crab was hanging out right in the front of the tank.

Nice! I've not been able to find my porcelain crab for the past week.
