  1. Observing life within the aquarium

    I moved the Candycane coral to the top of the reef in an area not being hammered with flow. The polyps weren't able to tolerate that pressure and tissue was peeling away. I'm expecting it to recover nicely.

  2. Day 73: Macro Monday Again? ;)

    The extension tubes are fun, allowing me to get better closeups. I shot most of these images with the 20mm extension tube, and used the SB-800 flash to make up for the higher f/9 setting. ISO 200 for all images.

    My first subject was the Tuxedo Urchin. I like the shape, the blue pattern between the spines, and how much he moves around. I took a number of pictures to see close up what he's made of. This first image is the uncropped version. The second image is a crop and shows a tiny ...

  3. A few super macros

    Using the 20mm extension tube and my Macro lens, I shot a few more images from above. I'm still trying to improve how I edit RAW pictures during post processing.

  5. Yesterday was my birthday, so I enjoyed viewing my reef

    I decided to try to take some pictures from above. I'm shooting with a Nikon D90, and used a 20mm extension tube with the 110mm Macro lens. Some shots were then taken with the 50mm with a polarizing filter, and I broke out the off shoe remote flash using an extending cable to light the subject from an angle, off to the side.

    All images were shot in RAW-format in Manual mode. ISO varied depending on the amount of light the subject was under. Spectrum was 20,000K.

    The ...
