One of the items I picked up from Golds hand picked coral shipment

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

[Der_Iron_Chef]

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]

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.

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. Whoops, I forgot I'm not allowed to say frag swap anymore.




































Frag swap!

Had my hand picks picked

Anyone here buy that super red donut? It was pretty nice! I'm looking forward to when Albert frags some of those acans, nice colours on some of those.
