58 Gallons O' Goodies

[AnotherLousy1]

Hello all -

Just thought I would share a few photos I took earlier this evening ... I'm using a Nikon D70S and this set was shot handheld with my 18-200mm VR lense.

"Tuck" in all his BSJF glory!

Lubbock Wrasse

Red/Orange Gogornian

Rose and Purple Ric (One of my favorite Rics in the tank)

Neon Orange Fungia (gettin' him some dinner ... YUM!)

I'm actually off work tomorrow, so I'll see if I can capture some others and post out here as well. Thanks for checkin' out this thread.

Looks good, does you BS have some white stuff on him or is it just the pic? I hope it is not the dreaded fungus.

Have you tried any "Actinic Only" shots? Take a look at this thread and see what you can get with your tank

It's a spot alright, but it's where the coloration is just "faded". I looked him over before I bought him and asked the LFS about that too. LFS said he was like that when they got him. He's healthy as a horse though, eats like a pig, and is more active than any other fish I've ever seen. Thanks for lookin' out for me SeaHorse.

Al, I haven't tried just actinic shots yet ... might break out the ol' tripod and do that today.

No problem, I wonder if he will get the pigments back. As long as he is eating ok I guess he's fine.

Phenomenal pics! Thanks for sharing them!

LOL Victor! Thanks for the compliment. Hubby is the one who taught me how to shoot these tank shots, thanks goodness for him and whoever invented the tripod.

Sorry Adam, didn't get the mail back that you posted. Thank so much for the compliment. I'm really having fun with this tank.

Fantastic shots AL1 !!

How do you get those colors to show in actinics ? Everything just looks blue when I try taking actinic pics....

 

[AnotherLousy1]

Thanks EMG, there's 4 things to think of, 1) white balance (most cameras have an auto setting you can use, which I did here because I couldn't get my target to dial in properly) 2) get a tripod; 3) VERY slow shutter speeds (hence the tripod because the little movement will make the photo turn out blurry), and 4) PRACTICE and PATIENCE!

 

[tigerarmy90]

those are some amazing shots!!! how about a full tank shot? I would also love to here some more details about your system!
