Phi Delt's Reef Photo Thread

I use a Panasonic DMC-FZ40 - its a High Zoom sub DSLR camera and does a pretty good job in RAW mode.

Here are some pics i took at Bill's place (Incredible Aquarium)

The pics were adjusted for white balance and black levels as well as noise correction. Colors are true to life.

great pics vince,he told me your were in and took some shots,maybe i should invest in a camera ,mine is 12+ yrs old and no  kind of real adjustments can be made unless i do it on my computer afterwards

thanks guys.

mine was only about $400 but i received it as a Christmas gift last year. I didnt want to step up to the camera's with interchangeable lenses for the lenses cost more than the damn camera!

[phi delt reefer]

nice shots vince.  Im going to have to go check out that first anemone.  Any idea on price?

take some nice shots of your tank while your at it.

Here's some more stuff! Once again this is all Bill's stock at IA. Most of its probably gone though - Boxing day sales were hard to pass up!

these look heavily saturated but i can assure they are not. These were taken under the ecotech Radion under blue leds only. The pop is pretty amazing.

FRAGGING INCREDIBLE !!!!!!! id like some off a couple of those if they come up for sale

 

[phi delt reefer]

some more from yesterday. These are from my tank.

you can see the red bugs on this Valendia - look closely  :?

 

[teebone110]

Your corals are looking good.. how do you like the extra flow from your dual mp10s?
How has your open brain responded?

 

[phi delt reefer]

He seems to be okay with it. Lots of sand blowing on him so I keep cleNing him off but I am feeding him directly once a week. It's neat watching them eat but they take forever and mr shrimp takes advantage of it

 

[phi delt reefer]

teebone stopped by with his wife's D80. Whole new beast that frustrated the shit out of me. Never try to use a new camera on a fish tank - its way to hard.

anyway's here are few pics we took - credit to teebone for taking over after i got pissed off and gave up. Good thing we had beer...

 

[teebone110]

nice, those turned out better than I thought!

next time we will read the manual..

 

[Quartapound]

What kind of lens were you using on the D80? looks good!

 

[Darryl_V]

Wow...looks great Vince.  Love the mystery wrasse.

Man that sand blows everywhere though eh.....I notice it on your rocks quite a bit.  Those vortechs must be doing there job.
