Fantastic photos!!

What are you taking the photos with?

Wow!!!! Again a very big WOW!!!

The FTS are spotless, your coral colors are incredible... I have to say some of the best I have seen.

Makes me very envious, something I am striving for. Great Work!!!

That aquascaping (among other things of course) is out of this world! I'm so jealous!

Excellent photography! When you use a macro lens like that does it make the backgrounds real black or is that something you're doing in CS2? Jeez, my Canon G7 just got uglier! :lol:

Your aquascaping is really great too! My tank is a standard 90 gallon...same as yours, but 48" instead of 60". You have done a great job with the rock considering the width and height. I wish I had the patience to do that!

Btw, I'm pretty sure this coral is Montipora samarensis "Forest Fire". I have one, and it looks just like yours.

Thanks Myka!!!! no the macro lens doesn't blackout the background. I don't adjust this in CS2 ether. they are black because am shooting through the aquarium and the whole room is typically pitch black with the exception of the aquarium lights. I also under expose the picture when am shooting them.

As far as the rock work believe it or not i had a mock-up aquarium and made papermaches first to see exactly what i wanted to do and how I wanted it to look, from there I put the rocks together oh and the rocks are not glued just pegged.

thanks for the positive ID on that coral. I'll make a note of that one.

Ok thanks. I do the same thing as you with the room dark, and I underexpose as well - maybe not enough? A guy on here sphelps takes photographs in a similar style as yours where the background is blacked. I'm still trying to figure out how because it sure makes the corals pop out in the photo!

Papermache? Hehehe. I tried to peg my rocks, but ran out of patience, so mine are zip tied. You must have a lot more patience than me.
