Finally, quality shots of my corals - KPG007
I've been taking pictures of my corals for some time with mixed results. I finally went out and bought a top quality, and highly rated, point and shoot camera - the Sony Cybershot DSC-RX100 II.
The color and quality of the pictures is amazing, so good that I decided to share a bunch in this album. Diablo Milli - I've had this guy a while. The colors really pop in this photo: http://members.shaw.ca/kgrimm/DiabloMilli.jpg RR Needle in a Haystack - Wow, closeups are sometimes better then real life: http://members.shaw.ca/kgrimm/Haystack.jpg Tyree Blue Matrix - Nice shot of this difficult coral. Fast, hardy grower, but tough to get the color looking good: http://members.shaw.ca/kgrimm/BlueMatrix.jpg Branching Cyphastea - Likes lower light with the base going from green to peach color: http://members.shaw.ca/kgrimm/BranchingCyph.jpg Pink Jade - A slower grower, until it's happy, but then, watch out! Amazing colors in this pic: http://members.shaw.ca/kgrimm/PinkJade.jpg True Undata - Love the colors in this one!: http://members.shaw.ca/kgrimm/Undata.jpg Pink Jade - A slower grower, until it's happy, but then, watch out! Amazing colors in this pic: http://members.shaw.ca/kgrimm/Kushberry.jpg Limeade Naustuda - A slower grower, until it's happy, but then, watch out! Amazing colors in this pic: http://members.shaw.ca/kgrimm/LimeadeNasuta.jpg Cali Acro - Similar colors to a Cali Tort, but grows in a bush instead of a long branch. A beautiful piece: http://members.shaw.ca/kgrimm/AcroDelight.jpg Rainbow Pocci #1 - Got this guy as a little frag. Awesome colors with the light pink base and darker green polyps: http://members.shaw.ca/kgrimm/RainbowPocci1.jpg Bird of Paradise - Super nice picture! Purple Polyps pop way more then in real life: http://members.shaw.ca/kgrimm/BirdOfParadise.jpg RR Hot Sauce - Got this from Ryan as a reddish stump. It's starting to really come to life!: http://members.shaw.ca/kgrimm/RRHotSauce.jpg Aussie Delight - I've had this for probably 4 years. Nice color, but very little growth. IT finally found a good home and is putting a ton of branches (finally): http://members.shaw.ca/kgrimm/AussiePassion.jpg Rainbow Pocci #2 - Another variation of Rainbow pocci. The pink is a little brighter with the lighter green polyps: http://members.shaw.ca/kgrimm/RainbowPocci2.jpg Neon Birdsnest - A classic. Love the bright polyps: http://members.shaw.ca/kgrimm/NeonBirdsnest.jpg Purple Planet - It took a while to get this guy growing, but it was definitely worth it: http://members.shaw.ca/kgrimm/PurplePlanet2.jpg |
This is my favorite picture right now:
Sunburst Bubble Tip and Rainbow Bubble Tip Anemone's - The picture speaks for itself: http://members.shaw.ca/kgrimm/SunburstNem3.jpg |
Awesome photos Kelly! I need a bigger tank!
|
wow
|
Looks great Kelly! I might need to buy one of those Sunburst BTAs sometime - they sure are gorgeous! The new camera is taking some really nice photos that look true to life by my judgement. :)

I've had mine for two years and it refuses to split. It's huge too, lol. |
Nicely done Kelly. They are looking really good.
|
Nice pics Kelly, I still think the vibrancy is better in person... But the clarity of the pics are great!
|
Nice !
|
Awesome pics Kelly!
|
It's been a long time... I need to pay you a visit again. :biggrin:
|

|
Looking great!
|
Beautiful pictures Kelly. All I can say is Wow!
|
hi I would love to come by and take a look do you have a contact number?
|
Thanks for all the kind word everyone!
Here is another favorite. It has no official name and I have no idea where I got it. Can't decide weather to call it Purple Rainbow or Masterpiece. Both suit this one. Here it was a few years ago: http://members.shaw.ca/kgrimm/PurpleRainbow.jpg I lost all but a couple small frags in a tank crash. It has slowly crawled back from the brink and has turned in to this: http://members.shaw.ca/kgrimm/Masterpiece.jpg Amazing how time, lighting and water conditions can change a coral. |
I have not been here for a few years and it is amazing what I see. Those SPS are just amazing. Amazing colors! I knew I should not have been visiting here because now I just want to start another saltwater tank. This is just amazing! well, I am repeating myself :)
|
i really want one of those sunburst! BTW those photos are very nice and the corals look great... jealous!
|
You've got a lot of great looking Acropora in your tank! Glad to hear the new camera is working out well. I know the frustration of taking photos, loading them on the computer and having none of the colors look even close to what the corals look like in reality.
|
Thanks everyone for the kind words.
Funny, I'll still take 50 shots to find 5 good ones, but thats better then 50 for 1 good one! Always lots of things to keep this hobby interesting :lol: |
