Picked up a few things over the past week (ya, I know, surprise surprise!)

Anyway, managed to finally get in on one of Red Coral's clam orders after missing the last couple of Grade A/Ultra Grade shipments.





Also picked up this pink/teal blasto not too long ago.



Hmm.. looks like that bit of glass needs some cleaning..

And since I was in there snapping picks I figured I'd take a shot of my favourite clam of the bunch, the squamosa (not from the ultra maxima order).

Really? I didn't know that. I have 3 croceas, 2 maximas and a squamosa with 4 and 1/4 starfish roaming around and I can't say that I've Noticed any altercations.

Love the blues in that second clam.

Do you do any saturation adjustments?

if I am shooting under T5s (the starfish in orange shrooms) then no. I usually have to drop the saturation for those ones. All other photos then yes, part of my photo processing script will kick the saturation up a notch or two. I've found that the combination of my halides and SLR sensor tends to wash out watery photos. I don't seem to have this problem when photographing under T5 lights tho.
