Makes me wish I was a fish...or coral...

[ClarkiiClown]

Here are a couple of my favorite macros...

[lwhite2]

Here is my first attempt ever at a macro shot. I took this last night arond 11. I think its pretty considering I took it in the dark with a flashlight for lighting.

[D12monkey]

:cool: I see my photo taking tread is paying off. :D nice picture. Again, Wallmart has tripods at around 20 bucks. If you're interested. Or you can check ebay.

[D12monkey]

Here's some red polyps.

[D12monkey]

And my newest addition. Not completely opened yet.

[FragOutpost]

Great photos everyone!

lwhite2 - Looks good for your first attempt at macro shots.

clarkiiclown - nice shots. What kind of fish is that in the last photo?

Great thread D12!

[D12monkey]

Same piece as the one above but opened.

[lwhite2]

Thanks to D12Monkey my pics are better than ever!

[D12monkey]

:eek: :eek: WOW what a difference. Nice pictures!!!! :p keep em coming. Are those my zoos I gave ya? :D

[lwhite2]

Yup, those are your zoos you gave me. They look good don't they? If you would like a frag of my sun coral we can try cutting a piece.

[D12monkey]

we could do that. :p prob gro like crazy.

[D12monkey]

Here's another pic. Of one of my lastest additions. It's a 1/2 in neon goby. These are progressively more macro pictures of the new fellow.

[FragOutpost]

Great clarity on that real close up photo.

I haven't seen my neon goby for over a week now. It'll often disappear in the rocks for days at a time. Maybe he's skittish because of the newest addition of a flame angel.

[D12monkey]

I collect those by the dozen. :toothy9:

[D12monkey]

Here's another picture of the other neon goby I have in the tank. This one is even smaller. <-- Under 1/2 inch.

[D12monkey]

Figured since I was leaving on a trip I'd add these pictures. :icon_butt

First off is a Baby high hat. :sleek:

[D12monkey]

Then of a baby porkfish. :cool:

[FragOutpost]

How old are those fish? Are you breeding them?

I've never seen or heard of a pork fish. Can you post a link to some more info? How big do they get? What do they eat? Reef-safe? etc...

[avbryce1]

here is another

[FragOutpost]

Nice Pic!

Here is a dusky jawfish

[avbryce1]

:director2 Awesome

[D12monkey]

I guess I better come up to bat. Even though I've had those problems. This was taken yesterday. Somebody decided to show up after a 6 month of :hiding:. I was :eek: to see him come out. I thought I had lost him months ago.

[D12monkey]

He wanted to box me... Thought I was attacking.

[D12monkey]

Here's an upclose and presonal look at the nasty red bug.

[avbryce1]

[FragOutpost]

Wow!

avbryce1 & D12monkey - Those are all amazing photos. :thumbsup:

Yeah the snail shell really puts into perspective how small it is. What do you feed it?

[D12monkey]

Absolutely positively nothing. Eats the pods in the tank. FOR NOW. :icon_butt

[D12monkey]

Thought I'd add my newest addition to my nano tank. It's a baby seahorse. overall size including it tail extended. 1/2 inch My local LFS gave it to me to see if I can grow one.

[FragOutpost]

Hey D12, how's the seahorse doing so far? How many do you have just the one?

[D12monkey]

Seahorse is doing great.. going on day 3 since I've added him and days 10 since he was acquired by the LFS.

[FragOutpost]

[FragOutpost]

Excellent macro shots dickie52. What kind of camera are you using?

[dickie52]

The Canon Rebel XT, with a 100mm lens.......

[FragOutpost]

Nice. That is the type of camera I plan on buying one day whenever I can stop spending all of my money on my tank. :)

[D12monkey]

LOL I will be having access to that camera as of this weekend. LOL Bought it for my dad as a birthday camera. I'm saving up for the canon 1Ds.

Awesome shots by the way.

[jinenon]

First macro.....Tell me, this clown was marked a percula but i think its an ocellaris. What do you guys think? His tempermant is that of an ocellaris, very easy going an territorial.

[jinenon]

Others im working on.......

[FragOutpost]

Nice pics! Thanks for sharing. It is difficult to tell from the pic what type of clown you have. This link may help - http://saltaquarium.about.com/cs/clownfishcare/l/blpercula.htm

Is there a thin or a thick outline around the white bars?
Usually thin = Ocellaris while thick = perc

Can you count the dorsal spines?
Generally 10 = perc while 11 = Ocellaris

[FragOutpost]

I think that you are right about it being a flase percula

[EvilTwin]

It's an Ocellaris. I have two and that's exactly what mine look like

[jinenon]

My girl is better than me!! I explained the camera and macro to her and this is what she has taken!!

[D12monkey]

Nice photos

[FragOutpost]

Great pics! Keep them coming! :)

[joey10sl]

[D12monkey]

Cool photos

[staraquarist]

Beautiful, beautiful pics...How many megapixels are you guys using to take the pics?

[Symbiosis]

Mine were taken with a 6 megapixel HP camera. Really wish I had a Digital SLR as not having manual focus is a pita. Also, I think a tripod would help.

staraquarist, if you don't mind my asking, whats your affiliation with aquariumbliss.com?

[D12monkey]

My camera is a Canon Powershot Pro1 shot at the setting just below RAW. So I could guestimate at prob 7.2 megapixels (Mp)... The Camera is an 8 Mp camera but the megapixel of the camera isn't all that matters the lens on the camera also accounts for the picture quality. The Pro1 uses the pro series lens from canon that makes a huge difference... Also the way the picture is taken, (check out the tread on how to take pictures), affects the overall quality of the photo.

[jinenon]

Heres a few nappy shots of the things i love to zone out on....

[jinenon]

BTW- Symbiosis, awesome hammer. How long have you had it??

[D12monkey]

I guess I should post a couple of photos since it's really been a while since I've done so.

[jinenon]

my best macro so far

[icereefer]

here's a few for yeah.
