Macro Lens shots

Rate this Entry
I thought about trying to get a reflection shot of my reef today, but it's not possible with this aquarium. The livestock is too far away from the surface, and the tank doesn't have enough front-to-back depth. So I changed my plan and shot with my 105mm macro lens.



Birdsnest corals





Blue Tort



Candycane



Chromis



Female clownfish in BTA





Flame Angel - she was not in the mood to get her picture taken today.



Pseudochromis fridmani



The pink hammer coral has a few heads with green fluorescence pigmentation.



Male Lyretail anthias



Mystery Wrasse



Nephthea coral



Pajama Cardinal



Pygmy Angel



The Rose BTA stretched out to bask in the 'sun' today. I took this picture with the pumps off.


When I turned the Vortech MP60 back on, it started spinning like a carousel. After three full rotations, I stopped the pump. Wearing a glove, I tried to spin it backward to unwind it, but it retracted into the rockwork.



Here's the trunk after I gave up trying to help it.


Hopefully it won't split or move after my interaction with it today.



Spock



Twinspot Blenny



Yellow Tang

    Beautiful shots Marc. I had the macro bug lately also.

    Look what I found this morning taking a pic of my Tort. So far the only colony.

    Ewwww!! Great shot though. Nice to see you posting on RA again, Brad. We miss that!

    May I use that picture in my Pests presentation? It's perfect, and has your name credited already.

    Yes you can. Even though it's not very good advertisement on my part. LOL
