Thats some amazing shots. So sharp. You can see every scale. Did you shoot through a box to get the top down view?

 

[awd2k]

nope! just through the front glass

[jedininja]

How did you get the top down view through the front glass? Whenever I try shooting at an angle to get the perspecitive, I always get distortion.

 

[awd2k]

Jedininja,
it's probably because the anemone is positionned "verticaly" on the live rock. so when Mister Clown gets in the anemone, it looks like the picture was taken from above ...

[jedininja]

ah ok, makes sense now. Thanks

 

[RevHtree]

Gorgeous PICS!!!

 

[illcssd]

Nice clown and amazing picture!

 

[jwedehase]

Very nice. What camera... err.. I mean... how did you light it? It's so evenly lit, even on the underside.

 

[drummereef]

Great shots, awd2k! They would make awesome avatars.

 

[awd2k]

Jwedehase, for the lighting i used a single 580EX for "fill-in".
for those two shots, it was adjusted at -2/3 ...

the anemone also hosts other inhabitants, like this Neopetrolisthes

Drummereef, i may end up with a clown avatar when i reach the 100 post ...

I love the shots, how to you position your flash? Do you just push it through the glass, or do you bounce it somehow? I also love your boarder, did you hire someone, or create it yourself, looks really good!!!

Oh yeah and what camera/lens are you using LOL J/K

 

[awd2k]

thanx Mrs. PL-Reef. the boarder is fairly easy to do, no need to hire someone ... it just takes a couple of minutes to add it to the existing white frame.
concerning the flash (- 2/3), i use it to fill in, so it does not bounce at all ... here is an other picture of the clown

Oooh. Very nice crisp shot.

 

[TriGa22]

WOW! Those are some sharp pictures. How can you get such good pics of the clown? My clowns are always swimming.

I have to start saving my pennies and stop buying livestock so I can get one of those cameras. Those photos are intense. But, I would also need to learn how to use it. Again, great photos I love them!!!!
