holy moly. Wow, very very nice. What kind of settings do you use to have it where the pics of the fish don't blur?

 

[incysor]

You have to increase your ISO. Using a flash doesn't hurt....Although I generally try not to use it as it tends to wash out the coloring of the corals. The lowest ISO setting on my camera is 64. This is what I shoot most stuff at. My highest setting is 400, but you start to get a lot of noise in the pictures. Thats when they look grainy. I the coral shots at 64, then raised it to 200 trying to get some clear ones of the clowns.

aww excellent tip. I have to remember! :gcool

The higher the ISO the better for night or low-light shots or action shots.

Wow, a little of everything in there . Just curious, but what is on the left in the 11th picture down? Also, the macro shot of the mini star is cool!! Great shots as always.

 

[incysor]

Thanks guys.

Jennie, it's a fairly sad little chili coral. This is the second one I've got. The first one is in the octo tank and was probably about the 2nd or 3rd coral I got. The thing is that they don't seem to be very happy within a couple months. They don't die, but they don't extend their polyps and puff up either.

how do you feed your harlequin in there?

Great shots B! The micros star shot is excellent as well as the two shots of the vermitid snail with his mucous strand out.

Drip acclimate the star for about 45 minutes, then plop it in. The shrimp knows where I drop them and is usually out and waiting for it about halfway through the acclimation process.

Is that what it's called. I assumed it was some type of worm. I took about a dozen shots of it trying to get the frogspawn tentacles and the strand in focus. They kept waving with the current and these two were the only ones that were good. ;-)

Thanks.

I don't know why you'd be jealous though. Your cube is great.

Incredible tank!

 

[incysor]

Thanks...It's been very slow in developing. Still is for that matter. :mrgreen:

My pics are never "saturated" they look washed out. Although its close to real life some of the color lacks.

Tip-o-the day - turn off all your PH's and filters so the tank water is still. Much easier to get a crisp shot of the corals and non-mobile critters.

:mrgreen: ...I know...I was just being lazy. I have done that from time to time. It's also helpful with some fish. They all seem to slow down when you turn everything off, like they're looking around going, "What the hell happened?".
