Default New pics (Updated 3.2.2009)

Hey everyone, just started a new thread of pictures of my whole tank, i really enjoy taking photo's of my tank so expect this thread to be updated regularly. All pictures were taken on an Olympus Evolt E-410 we just got the camera so i am still learning it! Enjoy! Any comments and critisisms are appreciated!

Full Tank:


Non Branching Frogspawn:


Orange Zoa's (these Zoas are actually a very vibrant orange color, i just currently done have them high enough in the aquarium):


Green and Brown Zoa:


Chalice (this is a very recent addition, as you can see it is still healing from the stress of shipping, but is recovering very quickly):


Clam:


Mushrooms (these were actually under a rock that formerly had a branching type leather on it):


Anenome (This was added to my aquarium just a few days ago, it is very happy so far!):


Galaxae:


Tuxedo Urchin (He like to dress up in whatever he can find)


Tiger Cowrey (this guy is a bit of an a$$, he likes to walk over whatever he likes and knock rocks over):


Strawberry Conch (this fella is the longest lived creature in my tank, he has lived through 3 moves, 2 weeks in an unlit rubbermaid while finishing our second move, various disasters ie; bumped thermostat temp at 86-90 for about a month, ive had him for at least 2 or 3 years):


Lamarcks Angel (he likes to swim really fast and play with the other fishies:


Yellow Tang (This guy is the landlord of the tank he was the first addition to the 90gal, fish wise. He needs to approve all new tennants to the aquarium)


Lawnmower Blenny (Im not sure what up with this quak, he like to swim up to the front glass and then move back and forth REALY fast... kinda a nut):

Last but not least
The Clowns:


I hope you all enjoyed these pictures!

I found my tripod today burried in the storage room so i though i would take a few new pics with my camera on a low iso for better quality here are a few pics of 3 new additions over the weekend and a couple real nice quality pics of some other corals as well, the first three pics are my latest additions.

generally the lower the iso the better quality but i requires a steady hand or tripod as the exposure time is increased, these were taken at 400 iso, vs the rest at 800 or 1600 iso... Youll notice there is alot less "noise" in the newest pictures, making for a much sharper image, at full resolution these pictures are very sharp and crisp, but each photo is also 2-4mb
