That is a beautiful picture!!!! I'm thinking a candidate for TCMAS '09 calender. What coral is that?

[RogersCG]

Very nice Eric... Is that pretty close to how it looks in person under moon lights?

[mattb]

That's a great pic....

[Zibba]

It's a favia. Not sure what the name of it is or if it has a name.

Chris - under the moonlights it's more fluorescent green and the red eyes are brighter, but I can't get it to adjust for that. This coral is much more beautiful under actinic and moonlights that the halide lighting.

I have to get more cool glowy moon light stuff...

How long was your exposure?

[mattb]

He's hiding that info !!!!

[jon_56048]

I have some nice glow in the dark moon light stuff now only if I had a nice camera lol

cool. thanks for the id.

[mattb]

Exposure = 30 seconds

wow, that's pretty long. I wonder if my D80 could do that long...

[wes]

anyone ever done full actinic moonlighting? i think it'd look really cool if nothing else...

[RogersCG]

wow, that's pretty long. I wonder if my D80 could do that long...

Sure it can... You just need a steady tripod, use the timer, don't stomp around while the shutter is open, and turn off your pumps...

I shot with a d40x. The d80 is awesome! Tripod and a 2-second delay helped a lot.

:agree:

I didn't turn off the pumps though last night. Just left everything running.

You mean I can't dance around the tripod?!?

Sure you can... But let me get my video camera first... ;)

[Zibba]

Mattb - this will give you a good idea of what it looked like on the back of the camera right after I shot. It definitely needed to have the wb adjusted really high (50000k). I adjusted the saturation, clarity and contrast a bit too.

Interesting....

I like to dance in the buff around my camera on the tripod in front of the reef tank, wearing on the shorty socks with the little beanie on the back...
