sportzfish April 12, 2010 Share April 12, 2010 With respect to the unknowns, I would guess austera (BRK unknown #1), granulosa (BRK #2), and tenius (Dr. Mac unknown). I have one just like the Dr. Mac unknown and it had the darker brown polyps until I put it in a high flow area and then all the polyps turned translucent like yours in the foreground. Funny thing is that when I was not treating it right, its body color was just a pretty deep dark blue without contrast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea that cabbage is cool. it is really tough, even though it is a soft coral it is almost hard like a stoney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocko918 April 12, 2010 Author Share April 12, 2010 BTW, I use a tripod and remote shutter release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabrego April 12, 2010 Share April 12, 2010 BTW, I use a tripod and remote shutter release. I do need to buy a remote release fo my shots, so I have been somewhat limited wit respect to how long my shutter speed can be. I have an older manual lens (Nikon Micro Nikkor 55mm f/3.5 AI'd & M2 Extension Ring ) I am using to have some fun with. The lens must be 40+ years old, but it is in great shape and I picked it up for 100 dollar. For my purposes, it has been a great learning tool. I am sure I can get some better shots, right now I have only been adjusting the 3 basic paramters (shutter, aperature, and iso) with mixed results. To be honest I am not sure if messing with the other parameter will buy me anything.. look forward to the pics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocko918 April 12, 2010 Author Share April 12, 2010 1 thing that really helped out for me was doing a custom white balance. Once i set that up my pics show the true colors better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
