When I got there on Friday night, it looked like business as usual. There was only 1 SPS left, etc. So I just ended up buying two acan frags and an echino frag. Ah well....still like 'em :)

And Tony, I almost never take aquarium photos with a flash. I don't like the shadows it creates. Do you have photoshop? I find I can under/overexpose a photo at the tank, and correct it quite easily at the computer ;)

Oh, and I also got a free big Aiptasia on one of the frags! I love freebies! Seeing as I've never before seen a single Aiptasia in my tank, I squirted it with boiling water right away. I hope I got it.

I almost never used to take aquarium photos with a flash, but, I will if the halides go off. I won't turn the halides back on for the sake of a photo as it really freaks the fish out, but the flash doesn't bother them one bit. Other than the shadows, the colours seem to come out reasonably true.

I guess I need to learn Photoshop. I have it, just find it far too overwhelming to use. I need a tutorial or a course or something. It is literally too overwhelming, so I don't use it. :(

Tony, I will never again question your mad skillz :) I am like the karate kid telling Mr. Miagi what to do...he he.

As for photoshop...it's one of those things that is so overwhelming, but you've just got to dive in. I have a pretty decent how-to book if you'd like to borrow it.

Delphinus 09-17-2007 08:56 PM

hehe no worries Drew, I gotz no skillz to be questionin' in the first place.

A book eh, yeah that's not a bad idea. I just figure I kind of need a mentor in that software or something because .. I just stare at all the options going ... "uhhhh ... guh??? buh???? Gahhh!!!!" Then I close it and open the picture in the same old piece of software I've been using for 4 years that came with my Dell. :lol:

So where's all the pics of the hand picked SPS? I'd like to see what people got, and what will be at the next frag swap.:mrgreen: Whoops, I forgot I'm not allowed to say frag swap anymore.




































Frag swap!
