Default December 15th Update

Tank parameters tested well tonight. I did a 40% water change and should be throwing some livestock in tonight. But I thought I'd get the pictures up and post the gooders later once I'm satisfied with the tank.

I am pretty satisfied with the rockwork though.






Any suggestions on changes for the better?

Cheers,

Scott & Wendy!

Looking good folks, my recommendation is some photoshop skills

Bring out the true colors and get rid of those lines, now you're in space!

Sorry Steve, but I am not a big fan of the high contrast look of your rendering. I seen a pretty off looking picture for your Dec. 15th update shot. Come on Steve... just get more colourful corals, that way you won't have to artificially enhance them lol!

I'll go adjust my WB and and take some new ones just for you!

All I did was adjust your white balance by selecting both a neutral and black control point, no enhancements. In my mind if it's still really blue the white balance is off.

What you call artificially enhance, I call digital photography, the colors pretty accurate in my pics, a little brighter but I like it. Am I detecting a little jealously there buddy?

Heehee, I am jealous of the D300!

Like they say Film photography is science, digital photography is art!

My WB was still set for the basement tank, I didn't change it before shooting the nano.

Of course I am jealous! Look at your brain sized brain lol!

Cheers buddy!

You gotta start shooting in RAW and get yourself some Capture NX2 software, camera WB is a thing of the past, get with the times geez

Even my D300 is old technology now with the D90 and D700, I haven't even had it for a year yet.

On a side note does your D200 have the sensor for the wireless remote? I just found out mine doesn't have it so the remote is useless to me, I must of spent a good 3 hours trying to get it to work
Anyway you can have it if you want.

I have the D80 but for me it's more of a glorified point & shoot. I need someone to come teach me how to utilize it properly.

When I shoot weddings I shoot RAW and work it in CS3. The NX2 is good as well. When I bought my D200 the D300 came out two weeks later.... bastards!

I use a tethered Nikon MC-36 remote. It works well. Maybe Colby's camera can use it?
