Really nice pice there Eric. The two Digis pic is cool.

Yeah the red cap is raiding superman's space. Unfortunately, red cap is Kryptonite for everythingggggg!

Here's a closely cropped picture of the blueberry gorgonian, can you see the weaved texture?

Make sure your lens is straight on with the object you want in focus. The object and camera should be as flat to each other as possible. I turned all the pumps off and used the timer for the coral shots. Once you can adjust the aperature and shutter speed (much easier than I thought) it is cakework. Tab has a Nikon D80, all you do is gently press the "take a shot" button to halfway and move the dial at your right thumb. On the top of the camera, you will see the Fstop and the number to the left of the Fstop changing. The higher the numbers, the less light, IIRC.

Hope you have a Nikon or I probably just confuzzled you!


Sweet!

Thanks! I was suprised!


Nice Pics, great looking tank!

Thanks Cheri!


Very nice Erik, you have to come by and school me sometimes....i have a nice Roesco German Blue waiting with your name on it..

Those settings should be fairly easy to set since it's needed between each shot. I don't know diddly about canons though :(



Ditto.

Thanks!

Sure is! It's so pretty... I really hope it does well, it is such a nice addition.

[cbianco]

Christopher

I'll frag it if it grows out of control. :p I am hoping to have success with it! I think the white acro will turn green, although blue would be nice.


Oh my gosh Erik....that blueberry gorgonian is freekin sweet!!!

Crazy pics man. Great job!

Thank you thank you! The tank looks cooler everyday...:bigsmile:

[stoneroller]

Hey, I was there!! Awesome tanks you have. I don't recall seeing the blueberry G.

[roscozman]

Looks great Erik

[Mr Cob]

That's cool.

[Pennies2Cents]

Hey Erik,

You got some skillzzzzz! :) Great Job!

[TexasTodd]

Very nice Erik. What lighting? (spefic with brands and K)

Where did you get that sweet Crocea? I haven't seen a decent one in years it seems.

Lastly, ScubaSteveo is back up and running and REALLY wants to get a frag of his coral back, so you could be a hero by setting him up with a small piece ;).
