Okay, a closer look at my Setosa. I think I am getting better at taking pictures. You tell me. A big thanks to Kien for all the tips and pointers.

And a closer look at the elastic holding my Darth Maul Zoas on.

Nice Setosa shot! Definitely an improvement :-).

By the way, I shoot tank photos for frags. Just thought I'd put that out there.

I think I will have to try my other lens to see if I can get closer. When I frag that setosa I will keep you in mind. I want it a bit bigger first.

Pics looks great man! Are you taking longer exposures? I find I have to take really long exposures to get good closeups (1-2 seconds ballpark, definitely needing a tripod and current stopped in the tank)..

Yeah I think I read someone's post where they were using 1.6 seconds which is what I have been playing with. I got my cheapo tripod from bestbuy for 18 bucks yesterday. It was 50% off.

And don't forget to turn your powerheads and possibly pumps off. At a very slow shutter speed the sway of polyps will be blurry :-)

One of my favorite new corals. Now this is orange.

And a new coral from Snappy. Colors are amazing.

And another that looks a little more orange in this pic then in person. All I adjust for is white balance.
