gizmoody June 14, 2011 June 14, 2011 I am no photography pro, but taking photos makes me strangely happy. I am especially interested in the world less seen. I will post photos of corals and other things in my tank. Your comments or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. These photos are also on my site that has photos of not just corals but I will post marine related shots here. Can I consider this my tank build thread? Sun Coral
gizmoody June 14, 2011 Author June 14, 2011 Nice macro, good start, lets see some more Thank you Jason. Some more below.
jason the filter freak June 16, 2011 June 16, 2011 Always been a big fan of the sail fin tangs, the juvenile phase (I assume) is beautiful. I'll have to lure you over with frags and beer to do shots of my tank when its done.
gizmoody June 16, 2011 Author June 16, 2011 Thanks Bob! Not as sweet as that Mandarin shot though! A lways been a big fan of the sail fin tangs, the juvenile phase (I assume) is beautiful. I'll have to lure you over with frags and beer to do shots of my tank when its done. You had me at beer...
gizmoody June 17, 2011 Author June 17, 2011 Cyphastrea (Meteor Shower) polyp. It's only a few millimeters across and it's hard to see the true beauty by eye.
jason the filter freak June 18, 2011 June 18, 2011 Those are some really long gnarly skirts, are they in a high flow area
gizmoody June 18, 2011 Author June 18, 2011 Those are some really long gnarly skirts, are they in a high flow area Moderate. Is that good or bad?
jason the filter freak June 19, 2011 June 19, 2011 Moderate. Is that good or bad? Doesn't really matter I suppose if they're happy they're happy, and they look happy , some corals tend to elongate in higher flow areas.
Max Ivers June 23, 2011 June 23, 2011 Absolutely gorgeous pics! I've never seen a picture of a Cyphastrea polyp like that. If that color came in a zoo or paly, who know's what that would sell for Out of curiosity, what camera body and lens are you shooting with? Any editing other than frosting your name in? Keep it up!

Thanks Max. It's a Nikon D7000 (just upgraded from a D40) and the Nikon 105mm macro lens (just got that too). In terms of editing, I crop, resize the image and most of the time shoot in RAW and adjust the exposure and contrast a bit if needed. I try not to adjust too much. Right now, this camera and lens are beyond my talents!
LanglandJoshua June 29, 2011 June 29, 2011 (edited) that looks great! I wouldn't doubt that with a little more tinkering, you'd master those lens's. Of course the pics already look millions of times better than any photo's I've done...gotta love a cell phone cam lol! I'm outa my league! MORE PLEASE, I love seeing macro shots!

I'm trying to master the glass. Unfortunately the next one is not a macro but hope you like it.
gizmoody June 30, 2011 Author June 30, 2011 Full tank shot. 10 months of progress. What do you think?
gizmoody October 25, 2011 Author October 25, 2011 (edited) Found a mushroom coral eating my dragonface pipefish like it's a strand of spaghetti! For reference, the mouth of the mushroom is less than half a centimeter. Man I loved that pipefish. Edited October 25, 2011 by gizmoody
Chad October 26, 2011 October 26, 2011 Wow, that sucks about your pipefish... but that is a cool freaking picture!
