Well I went a little picture happy for you Levi, my skills are still inferior to a few people on this site but they are coming around. It takes a while to realize some times you can take 10 pictures before you find one that you like. The fts skills are still pretty terrible tho.

Your blues look really nice man. Is that second last a. plana?

Your arches don't have that cheesy fake look... I like.

Yeah he is a sweet fish, now only is my Achilles could man up and not hide all the time, I believe its a plana. I cant get the colour in the pics its yellow with deep purple tips. Yeah I really like how the rock work came together gives us a lot of swimming space but it limits me for real estate to glue more corals.

I disagree, you have some pretty nice skills there buddy! That's the thing with shooting, you can take 1000's of photos and maybe have 10-15 that are just amazing while the rest don't make the cut. Are you using a tripod? I find that works wonders for the FTS.



Not sure if you edited it yet but a quick run through photo shop never hurts, It's really difficult to make all the colors work especially when your shooting through glass.

There's a really fine line and it's incredibly hard to not cross it, finding the balance between washed out and over the top is tricky that's for sure! Regular photos never seem to capture the color of my corals though, a quick run through PS helps but I agree the photos do come out looking a tad bit fake.

Time to pull out the under water camera !

While your previous photos were more psychedelic I'm enjoying your newer ones much more. Maybe it's the LEDs or your processing but they seem truer to life yet still very colorful.
