Some New Photos I Took Today!

Melanie · 10-02-2007, 06:38 PM

Just playing around with my new camera and took some shots today.

I like this one because it shows my clown swimming fast. I like how the camera focused on him and let the background blur with the movement instead of vice versa.

I think my ricordia is dividing. It has doubled in size and I think it almost looks like two now.

This little guy almost never gets photos taken and he is growing so I took a shot.

I caught one of my emerald mythrax crabs making a meal. He likes to hang out under the shrooms.

The bright blue shroom on the left was cut off of another rock on Saturday. I used really sharp scissors and cut as close to the base as possible. The second shot shows that the tiny bit that was left over on the rock is turning into a new shroom!

A cool close up of one of my peppermint shrimp.

This piece of LR is covered in tiny feather dusters.

Nice pics! Congrats on your ricordia splitting and your mushroom frag!

XBwlr · 10-02-2007, 07:21 PM

Nice pics Melanie.

The motion shot... you did, not the camera.

You had focus on the clown and followed him while you took the pic.
Great shot of the little guy.

Dentoid · 10-02-2007, 07:23 PM

Nice pictures! Perhaps you were moving the camera when you took the clown shot, thus the blurry background.

Melanie · 10-02-2007, 07:27 PM

Bwlr, that's right! I did follow him.

Thanks Woodstock!

I fragged him by accident! I didn't like where he was and wanted to put him with my other shrooms so I used very sharp scissors and cut it as close as I could to the base. I just set him on the substrate between the two rocks.

The next day it looked like this...

Three days later it looked like this...

Wild!
