The Pièce de résistance of my LPS collection: My
Aussie Ultra Rainbow Acan Lord 26 polyp mini-colony!
My camera, lighting and photography skill s*x so I brought this acan over to my friend March's place (marc3lo19) and he photographed it for me using his dslr under his full spectrum lights.
Photo taken by March:
No photo editing was done at all. I watched as it took March only about 5 minutes to take the pictures, transfer them to his computer, convert to jpeg and email them out to me. What took longer was waiting for the acan to adequately open up/ inflate in his tank. That took around 30 minutes.
For comparison the pictures below are taken with my old point and shoot camera in my 40B mix display macro algae and coral tank.
I spot lit the acan with my all actinic par38 bulb to show what it looks like under actinics:
Same shot with my t5ho plant lights turned on and par 38 actinic used for accent:
Some shots from the side/ front of the tank:
